The passage states that no one is forced to attend or maintain religious worship. It also punishes those who mock others' religious practices. This implies religious freedom.

• There is no mention of voting requirements related to being a Quaker.
• The text doesn't say almost everyone was a Quaker.
• The text allows different religious practices as it prohibits compulsion and punishment for different practices.

Answer:

People could practice different religions.
