Locke was a Puritan during England's tumultuous religious revolution, the Civil War. He wrote 'A Letter Concerning Toleration' (1689) during his exile in Holland, when the Catholic James II sat on the English throne. Locke's theory included the religious freedom of pagans, Muslims and Jews. It lead to the Toleration Act of 1689, the first major step toward statutory religious freedom.
