(the English Civil War gets called 'the Puritan Revolution' and since it ended with the King being killed and the establishing of a republic, I think it's legit)

I'll allow it (#11) as there was indeed a Puritan Revolution. However it was mainly a religious aspect and only a small part of a wider political crisis between Parliamentary power and the monarch (Charles I) regarding the "Divine Right of Kings" (aka absolute rule). Charles I was executed for treason against his subjects (employing foreign troops to fight against them) and the nation, and not on religious grounds.
