One of the primary contributing factors to the Salem witch trials was the superstitions prevalent in Puritan society. The belief that Satan was present and active was widely held in Europe and eventually spread to Colonial America. A common precept of this belief revolved around the necessity of believing in demons and evil spirits in order to confirm the belief of the existence of God and angels. This, combined with daily superstitions where all misfortunes were blamed on the supernatural, created a perfect environment for the mass hysteria leading to the Salem witch trials.Another factor likely contributing to the volume of witchcraft accusations revolved around the relationships within and between the various villages and towns. Numerous disputes occurred in Salem Village around items such as grazing rights, church privileges, and property lines. Many of the neighboring towns viewed Salem Village as problematic as evidenced by decisions such as hiring independent ministers to serve the village instead of supporting the larger Salem Town.

The Salem Witch Trials were deeply influenced by the religion of the early New England communities. Most of the people that had settled in this region by the 17th century were Puritans who had faced persecution in England. These migrant people wanted a land where their religion could be respected and openly practiced. This led to several consequences. This connection created communities that were very tight and close to each other, and where dissenters were not easily accepted. Moreover, these communities were often very strict in their laws, as they did not want their authority and beliefs to be challenged. Religion formed a big part of their identity and witchcraft was openly opposed to this religion. Therefore, while New England was not the only area in the world where "witches" were persecuted, it is one of the only ones who considered this to be an essential part of their identity as a people and as a community.
