I don't know what burning you're referring to, but if you're talking about Salem 1692, no one was ever burned. And it wasn't about "Not looking Christian enough", it was most likely either mass hysteria combined with a lying slave girl trying to get out of being executed, or ergot in their bread producing psychedelic affects.

You could be talking about a different even, but I am not aware of it.
