Though Calvin appealed to reason itself; writing in the severe, logical style of a trained lawyer, dealing firmly and lucidly with the most basic issues, people are not swayed by reason, rather they are swayed by emotional appeal.
According to R.R Palmer & Joel Colton, Calvin's followers could feel in their own mind they were among the saved, God's chosen few. That is, they didn't have to depend on the Church for their salvation. I think this was his appeal.

Why did Calvinism spread more rapidly than the Lutheran religion?
it had the means of spreading its ideas, e.g. missionaries from Calvins academy in Geneva, and also the Geneva printing press made easy distribution of ideas. Calvins church also had the structural support, unlike luther. Calvinist followers could set up their own private worship (conventicles), which then escalated into parish counsels etc. This made it possible for independants to practise calvinism. Luther had no structure behind his ideas which made it hard for followers to worship without looking for superior guidance.. if you get my drift....
