Religion plays a big role throughout the different
eras. People base their actions off of
their Religious beliefs (some good, some bad).
The easiest thing to spread over the lands is religion. For instance, Islam spread to Asia, South
Asia, and North India. Christianity
spread all through Europe.
Martin Luther created the 95 theses in 1517 to exploit
the corruption in the Catholic Church.
He was tired of these priests taking advantage of people. Some of them wouldn't even be at work nor
have any knowledge of some prayers. They
would instead be vacationing with all the money they are making when the people
would “donate” to the church. The church
had people believing that they must pay money to buy a piece of paper that
grants people into heaven out of purgatory.
So they abused the minds and hearts of believers in order to get more
money out of the people.
Protestantism is a section of Christianity that differs
from Catholicism. They believe in the
individual relationship with God, meaning they did not need to consult a priest
or higher being in order to reach God in asking for forgiveness or in
believing. It rejects the Catholic hierarchy
because of its political turmoil. They believe
in Mary, Saints, and Trinity. This does
not go well with the Catholic Church because they believe there is only one to
worship; God. They also read and interpret
the Bible for themselves. This was not a
common act during these times because many were illiterate, so the priests and educated
were able to read the Bible.
