Migration for religion is when people move to practice their beliefs freely or to avoid persecution. This type of movement has occurred in many time periods and regions. It is recorded in historical accounts.

In 1620, a group known as the Pilgrims traveled from England to North America to practice their religion. Other groups have moved across continents for similar reasons. These journeys often involved long travel by land or sea.

This type of migration is studied in history using documents, records, and accounts of journeys. It shows how belief systems have influenced movement.
