Reply to comment by Tomek_Hermsgavorden in TIL Martin Luther King was born Michael King Jr. However, his father, a pastor at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, traveled to Germany and became inspired by the Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther. As a result, King Sr. changed his own name as well as that of his five year old son. by 54_actual

You know protestants are also most of Northern Europe right? Many of the ones going to America were further offshoots that thought the general public wasn't hardcore enough, but the ones staying were also protestant and continue to be so today.

Persecution was mainly during the breakaway from Catholicism until the nations themselves turned on Catholicism.

Everyone burned witches though you might wonder why the people broken on the wheel is somehow never mentioned :(
