What gave the middle colonies a cultural diversity not found in new england

They were able to freely pick whatever life style/ beliefs as they pleased. In england you could only strictly be protestant for example, and a huge majority no longer wanted to abide by that. So, going to new england gave opportunity for those individuals to have independent beliefs without being judged and executed for those decisions ( This would happen in England btw) . Without being dictated the colonists had the right to be free of expression and mind.
