This compilation from Memoria Press contains reprints of two early American history texts from Helene Guerber.

Written in a delightful narrative form with a focus on the fascinating stories of the people who shaped our nation, children may beg you to read this to them for their history lessons. The texts are unabridged, with only minor editing changes. Black & white illustrations. Pb, 211 pgs.

Chapter 15, "The Mayflower," explains the how the Anglican Church came to be after King Henry VIII broke from the Roman Catholic Church. It also explains, in simplistic terms, the differences between the Puritans, Separatists, and Pilgrims. It doesn't take a position on any of the above listed. Just states facts. Doesn't steer, at least in my opinion.
Farther along it continues to mention facts about who was part of amy specific denomination if it points to why they took a particular position, but I haven't be seen anything that suggests one position/belief as being preferred over another.
If we run into something that I recognize as possibly offensive to on earth religious group over another, I will return to add comments.
