Modern Day Puritans?

Puritanism died out along time ago, but few of its principles can be related to in modern society.  In the public school system there is more leniency for just about everything, in my opinion. I went from a strict Catholic grade school to Whitney. In my old school many of the overly strict rules can be related to the ones in puritan society on a smalller scale. My classmates and I had to follow a rigorous dress code. If as so much as your shirt tale was un tucked it could be punishable by detentions. For the most part the detentions were fine, but the guilt the teachers left you with as if you had committed a murder for having your shirt un tucked was the part that always got me. This scenario can be related to the overly strict rules in the puritan age, on a smaller scale. 

I think Puritanism died out for good reasons. Their ways of life seem to me to be ridiculous and overly harsh. The huge majority of religions today they are more “customizable”, as in you believe what you want and don’t believe in what doesn't seem right to you. In today’s world if you feel like believing the philosophy of Taoism over the religion of Christianity you wont be condemned to a pit in hell. With today’s religions being extremely lenient compared to Puritanism, none of the religious aspects of Puritan society still thrive today.
