He didn't start a new religion; it was still a Christian denomination: Church of England. This was a change from Catholicism since the pope would not grant him a divorce.

What effects did Henry VIII marriages have on religion in England?

Henry VIII's first marriage did not produce a male heir, so he wanted a divorce, which the Pope would not grant him. Afters some years of argument, Henry decided to call himself the head of the Church in England, and break away from the religious overlordship of the Pope. Thus the Church of England was set up, and the way was open for other ideas such as Lutheranism to take hold in England.
