Well it turns out their were some differences in between the two religions Lutheranism and Calvinism. Lutheranism says that you don't have to pay for your sins, and Calvinism is sort of like Christianity.
Puritans are calvanists.
The major difference between the two relates to the emphasis on predestination.
Lutheran Bible has 66 books and Catholic Bible has 73 books. There is no difference in the New Testament of Catholics and Lutheran. However, Catholics consider 7 more books as divine in the Old Testament of the Bible.
The synods of the Lutheran Church represent different regions of the country. Each synod may have different doctrines, as well.
Calvinism and Arminianism are two theological perspectives within Christianity that differ on the issue of predestination. Calvinism teaches that God predestines certain individuals for salvation, while Arminianism believes in free will and that individuals have the ability to choose or reject salvation. This fundamental difference in beliefs shapes their views on topics such as the nature of God's sovereignty, human responsibility, and the extent of God's grace.
Capitalism and Calvinism are two completely different topics. Capitalism is a form of government, while Calvinism is a type of religion or belief. They really have no major similarities.

Yes, there are similarities between Calvinism and Arminianism and the biggest similarity is that that these two systems which explain and translate the Holy Bible's account of salvation. Both Calvinism and Arminianism base their system of beliefs on the word of Bible, but both have different interpretations.
The Lutheran Reformation kept two of the seven doctrines of the Catholic church; The Lord's Supper and Baptism. Luther also reorganized the church service by replacing The Mass with vernacular liturgy.

Nearly every doctrinal difference between the Lutheran and Eastern Orthodox Churches stem from two factors. 1. The Lutheran Church is a catholic, or western Church which shares its roots with the Roman Catholic Church. The forefathers of the modern Orthodox and the forefathers of the modern Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches underwent the "Great Schism" in the first millennium over Trinitarian doctrine and 2. The Orthodox uphold Apostolic Tradition as a separate means of Church authority, while the Lutheran Church only accepts those tenets of Church Tradition which are upheld by the authority of the Canonical Scriptures. Both are liturgical, historic, sacramentarian Churches. During the Lutheran Reformation, there was much dialogue between the Greek Orthodox and Lutheran theologians as many of their grievances with Roman Catholicism are the same. There were some small, political and doctrinal issues which prevented any formal declaration of union or fellowship. Dialogue continues, and many of the differences between these two historic Churches are simply cultural.
