Protestants are any denomination other than Catholic. The word protestant is derived from Protest.
During the early 1,500's. A priest named Martin Luther "protested" against the selling of indulgences and other teachings of The Catholic Church, and he nailed his 95 thesis on the door of the church in Wittenburg. This was a major act breaking away from the Catholic church. Followers of Martin Luther were called Lutherans, the church he left with exists today.
Through the years, the churches in protest splintered from each other forming new churches around either man made doctrine or interpretations of the bible.
But all follow the basic teachings of the bible itself.
