The Religion Of the Tudors
The Tudors were all different religions at different times. For instance when Henry VIII came to the throne he did not agree with people being Catholics and forced them to be Christians. Some people were strong Catholics and when the king found out that there was someone who was not his religion then they got punished. This could mean being burned or maybe having their head chopped off.
However when Mary I came to the throne she was determined to make the country completely Catholic unlike her Fathers opinion. She tried to make England Catholic but like before there were many Protestants. Mary I burned over 300 protestants and that is how she got her nickname 'Bloody Mary'.
To answer your question, when the Tudors were around there was not one main religion but the Kings and Queens who wanted to be in charge wanted to make them their religion which was different in different cases. Also, some people nowadays have evidence of secret hiding places where true Catholics worshipped, so King Henry VIII could not see them.
