Why are all protestant founded countries better than catholic ones? Is it catholic autism? Or something else? The Italian peninsula was doing pretty good during the Renaissance but then Protestants started to beat the Catholics in terms of societal advancements.

It places the responsibility for your salvation from a church onto the individual. This is the same mentality that people who work hard and capitalists have, and thus the countries that valued hard work and individualism thus tended to embrace protestantism.

>All
>Better
Spain, Portugal, and France were also Catholic countries. Russia wasn't protestant either. They fell in power because they lost wars.

Also, what is a protestant founded country. England wasn't founded as a protestant country. It was part of the Roman Empire at one point.

Catholicism/Ortthodoxy is a corruption of Christianity produced from a corrupt culture (Roman) reliant on patronage and mysticism over hard-work and pragmatism. It took Anglo-Teutonic honor to restore the real Christian faith and advance it with the progress of modern statehood.

>The Italian peninsula was doing pretty good during the Renaissance
no it wasn't. italy was in economic stagnation since the mid 14th century. the real economic domination of italy was in the 1100 and 1200s

>protestant founded

so like the USA, and that's it? The rest were pagan, norse, or catholic.

italy was worth more than the rest of western europe combined during the renaissance, at least until the new world brought hispania up. anywhere else, except france, was a backwater.

this but unironically

>what is a protestant founded country.
USA

scandi countries are all protestant

again, youre repeating memes. the low countries were very well developed if up to italy's level by the 1300s. so were parts of northern france. i suppose milan, venice and genoa did keep up to pace into the 1500 and even 1600s, but the same can't be said about the rest of the peninsula, especially florence.

the countries were around before protestantism was, you fucking moron

not the modern incarnation unless you wanna compare vargs mud hut to oslo

>muh varg huts have any part to play in modern success

It's because Protestantism is true Christianity and God loves His children

>he says, ignoring Irish economic advancements

>irish
>economic
>advancements

pick one and ONLY one, paddy

>catholic france wins pre and post revolution, both world wars and begins the modern era

i'm sure YOU'RE ANCESTORS did a whole bunch of important things in their prottie cuck sha- I mean churches. Just don't chimp out and try to kill all the jews again, sweetie.

they were oppressed by the british

this but the exact opposite of this

>repeating memes
>doesn't even discuss the 14th-15th centuries and the banking houses of northern Italy
>confines their importance to a single century
Things can and did happen concurrently, my dude. The Dutch cities wouldn't reach the level of sophistication of their Italian counterparts until the 15th century, though they were well on their way before that time.

ironically this but unironically

Protestantism encouraged people to read the bible. Catholicism did the opposite and forbade people to read the bible. Hence protestants became smart because they learned to read and catholics stayed stupid and that reflects in society.

>doesn't even discuss the 14th-15th centuries and the banking houses of northern Italy
lyons if i'm not wrong was surpassed italian cities as financial center of northern europe by the late 1400s. it goes something like
italian city states-->lyons (late 1400s to early 1500s)-->antwerp (1500s)-->amsterdam (1600s)-->london (1700-1900)-->newyork (1900-present)

italian city states (1200s?-1400s), genoa being iberian peninsula's financiers into the 1500s

US was founded as a secular country you revisionist cunt

This is what leftists actually believe

>US was founded as a secular country
hooh boy

>~1/3 the founding fathers were deists if not actual fedors tippers
>Jefferson clearly supported total freedom of conscience/religion, very clear in correspondences
>US founded during a period of religious decline, before Great Awakenings
>implying a leftist wouldn't prefer to spread the idea of "crazed radical Protestants crusading against the Indians"
go back to Facebook grandpa

Wow, you’re first world now that all the heavy liftings been done

>founded by protestants and men who were raised protestant
>principal authors of the constitution were protestant
>common man was protestant
>le secular nation

These same protestants legislated a separation of church and state

>men who were raised protestant
Not that user, but it doesn't mean anything. You still have to accept Jesus as your Lord, to believe in His.miracles and resurrection to be Christian. Deists even if "raised protestant" are no better than atheists and muslims. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson are in hell right now.
