Detailed explanation-1: -Dissent is a term used for all those Protestant religious groups and individuals who refused to conform to the Church of England, but who otherwise had very little in common. The term conceals major differences between the different denominations in matters of doctrine, church government, and attitudes to the ministry.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Nonconformist church was one that disagreed with the Church of England (Anglican). They may have disagreed with its rites of worship, opposed its authority, or objected to it being heavily supported and subsidized by the government.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the academic literature, the distinction is thus sometimes made between “Dissent", which tended to imply conflict with orthodox doctrine, and “Nonconformism", which tended to refer to deviations from orthodox practice.
