Protestants are the biggest Christian denominations in America. They split off from the Catholic church in Europe in 1514 because of the Reformation (see [Martin Luther], and 1533 in England, by decree of King [Henry VIII]. The conflict between protestant and Catholic views of christianity was the subject of several wars, notably the [Albigensian Crusade] (1209-1255) and the [Hundred-years war]] (1328-1453)

Some kinds of Protestant are Lutheran, Methodist, Baptists, and Episcopal (known in England as Anglican, or "Church of England"). The opposite of Protestant are the Catholic and Orthodox churches.
