Not as such. It obviously draws it's etymology from the root "to protest" in this case; to protest the Catholic church, or more specifically; the Popish system.

Now, we know that Martin Luther (the reformer, not the racial rights campaigner) was the first to protest the Catholic Church, and so the German Protestant church became a "religion" for want of a better word. It is actually now a denomination.

Then; other "protestant" churches arose, and so; it was more of a "movement" than an entire separate religion. Practically all Christian churches (including the Catholic church) have their basic, say; 5% of beliefs centered around the same ideology. This being so, the "shift" to Protestantism can't really be described as a "new" religion. It might be argued that the shift in belief systems is so great that it is "tantamount" to a new religion, but this is just word-play, and not a real manifestation whatsoever.
