Protestantism is one of the four major divisions within Christianity (or five, if Anglicanism is considered separately) together with the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Churches, and the Roman Catholic Church. The term is most closely tied to those groups that separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation. The doctrines of the various Protestant denominations vary, but nearly unanimous doctrines include justification by grace through faith and not through works, the priesthood of all believers, and the Bible as the ultimate authority in matters of faith and order. In the sixteenth century the followers of Martin Luther established the evangelical churches of Germany and Scandinavia. Reformed churches in Switzerland were established by John Calvin and more radical reformers such as Huldrych Zwingli. Thomas Cranmer reformed the Church of England and later John Knox established a more radical Calvinist communion in the Church of Scotland. From Wikipedia under the

It recognizes and uses both. Understand that the rise of Protestantism was more a political phenomenon than a purely religious one. For a millennium the Catholic Church had been the only political entity holding Europe together--and its political structure was patterned on the Roman Empire.

The Puritan left Europe in a huff over the perceived lack of holiness and a perception that the mainline churches were trying to be too controlling. The Puritan influence has kept Christianity alive (in one form or another) to this day, while it is waining in most of Europe.
