"Puritan" (lemmygrad.ml)

When I hear the term "puritan" my immediate assumption is that the speaker has no actual knowledge or insight or experience regarding Christianity, Christian practices, Christian theology, or Christians as people. I assume the speaker does wish to signal a kind of non-christian lifestyle but simply has no actual clue.

most ex-christians who tell me their experiences have almost nothing in common with mine.

Wouldn't that make your experiences of Christianity the "abnormal" one, statistically speaking, while most other Christians you encounter have the more mainstream experience of Christianity?
