Why did the Denomination of Presbyterian break off from the main religion of Christianity?

It appears to be that one of the problems some Catholics had, and then broke off from the Catholics to form the Protestant Church/s was about: why do we have to look at a crucifix with The Lord Jesus Christ being tortured on it, we can be faithful to HIM as the Greatest Teacher and Healer, we don't want him to suffer and we don't want to be reminded of all the suffering. Some agreed, some disagreed. These days, in ALL Presbyterian, Anglican and other Reformist Churches, if you walk into the Church, the crucifix is there WITHOUT portraying Jesus on the Cross, it's called an "empty Cross". That was only one of the problems. Still, I believe we can overlook the differences and also remember HIM for the joyful things he did: Teaching, Healing and so forth. Catholics would disagree, since for such a long time, they have portrayed HIM, on the Cross. Yet, we are talking about the very same thing: The Lord Jesus Christ. The first of the reformers was Martin Luther (NOT 'king'), his idea was: "let's take Jesus off the Cross". There is a branch of Christianity called the "Lutheran" Church, and others. I can see problems, yet at the same time, I think I'm mature enough to look at good things in all of the branches of the Church, and will not race off to a Church to argue and fault-find as SOME, not all, Athiests do.
