How were the quakers different from other religious groups in america in the 1600s? the quakers were not allowed to engage in trade or commerce. the quakers were discouraged from practicing their religion in public. the quakers were primarily farm workers from rural parts of england. the quakers allowed women to become preachers and speak publicly.

The answer is the second one. Quakers incorporate religion and regular daily existence. They trust God can be found amidst regular day to day existence and human connections, as much as amid a meeting for love. They accentuate the immediate experience of God instead of custom and function. They trust that clerics and customs are a superfluous check between the adherent and God.
