Who started the protestant reformantion?

Answer 1

Really there is no "Protestant religion." It is a broad term often used by 1. Roman Catholics to refer to all other Christians who are not Roman Catholic 2. non-historic, non-denominational Christians who have no other formal title and 3. Non-Roman Catholic, Non-Eastern Orthodox Christians who want to clearly distinguish themselves as non-Roman Catholic.

Others protested before him, but Martin Luther can be credited with the first truly revolutionary reformation movement. That being said, Lutherans have more in common with Roman Catholics, in belief and practice, than with the other modern Protestant Churches. Many Lutherans reject the label "Protestant," since it lumps them with the modern Evangelical movement. The Lutheran and Anglican Churches are the products of conservative reform movements. All other non-Roman Catholic and non-Eastern Orthodox churches are the product of radical reformation movements. Luther and his colleagues rejected the teachings of the founders of these radical Protestant movements as vehemently as he rejected the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church of his day.

Martin Luther started the Protestant movement when he sought to reform the Roman Catholic Church's use of indulgences. The first Protestant communion was celebrated in 1521, in St Mary's Church, Wittenberg, in Germany.
