How to use puritanism in a sentence?

The fanatic fails to recognise that the suppression of a real evil, if carried out too drastically, produces other evils which are even greater.
Puritanism...helps us enjoy our misery while we are inflicting it on others.
Puritanism The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
Puritanism is the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
Robertson Davies, The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks, 1947:
