Changes

::Contemporary democracy is certainly a result of Christianity, albeit brought about by [[Protestant]]s rejecting the false doctrines and malpractices within the [[Roman Catholic Church]], in particular the teaching and sale of indulgences, the buying and selling church positions and the systemic corruption within the Roman Catholic Church's hierarchy. It was the Protestant belief in individual responsiblity and that each man can be his own priest, allied to a belief in universal education and academic freedom which led to democracy as we know it.
