For the first 30 years or so, it was a Roman Catholic country. However, King Henry VII broke away from the church in about 1536 because the Pope would not let him divorce his wife. His logic was that she was not giving him any male sons so he should be able to divorce her. The Pope refused to grant him his wish and Henry broke away and founded his own church called the Church of England (Anglican Church). After this, he began to persecute those who remained loyal to the church. The Pope excommunicated Henry and thus released catholics from their obligation to obey him. This caused a great deal of tension between the government and catholics. The remainder of the century and beyond was spent hunting down and pursicuting catholics. To put it simply, it was a very bad climate.
