Puritanism hasn't stolen holidays or beliefs or thoughts from the pagans, they very much were against paganism, magic, divination, the Church of England, and Catholicism, Puritanism doesn't take anything from the pagans, it's honest and solely the purity of the church, it's the only way to heaven; even though dishonest Christianity stole these things.
There's no enjoyments in puritanical doctrine, enjoyments like drama, lust, gambling, elaborate clothes, and makeup, wearing powders, playing certain ball games, and wearing perfume or wigs or embellishments (but they didn't ban embellishments on gloves) or anything added for an extra dash of style to your clothes are sinful.
There's a paradox in puritanical rules and they don't make sense, but Puritanism has exceptions to some of its rules.
Yes, although in the cult of puritanical religion ball games weren't allowed, football, stoolball and ninepins were allowed, stoolball = like cricket, ninepins = form of outdoor bowls, which was allowed when bowling wasn't allowed, that's why I've got bocce on my phone but not 3D bowling, and football on my phone but not 8-ball, cricket, tennis, catch or golf.
The weirdest ever rule when it's normally the contemporary rule not to watch TV for those TV-phobes out there is not going to the theatre, which is so weird it makes me laugh!
is it normal to only talk to non-superstitious Christians?

It's a religion of course it makes no sense sometimes.
Every institution has weird rules and exemptions.
