B. at the center of the community.

Explanation:

In early America, religion absolutely dominated community life. Religion was considered the most important aspect of a person's life, and because of this, it was involved in all actions and activities of a person. Moreover, many early communities were founded  by Puritans. Puritans were persecuted for their religion in Europe, and wanted a place where they could experience and live their religion in peace. This meant that after their arrival, most Puritans were interested in making their religion an essential part of their identities and lifestyles.
