>People believe all kinds of crazy things, but it's undisputed that Protestantism has been generations ahead of Catholicism in social change.

That's only superficial, as protestant countries (and especially calvinist ones) transcribed into everyday non-religious morals all kinds of religious tenets, from the "protestant work ethic" to modern versions of puritanism like "political correctness".

Some did yes. Protestantism was a very diverse collection of sub-theologies.

Based on these replies, I'm wondering if there wasn't pop-history hit-piece on Protestantism that I'm not aware of.

Just for for the record, I'm an atheist myself.
