In the sixteenth century when Martin Luther first led his revolt against the Church, it was accepted practice that everyone (save Jews) in Europe were the same religion as the prince of that particular country. The Peace of Westphalia tried to stop the political wars by saying that if the prince of a territory left the Church, then any who wanted to remain Catholic had to leave his territory and immigrate to a territory ruled by a Catholic prince.

Did the protestant reformation lead to more or less political and religious unity in Europe?

The Protestant Reformation led to less political and religious unity in Europe, as it fragmented the Catholic Church's influence and gave rise to various Protestant denominations. This division fostered conflicts, such as the Thirty Years' War, and encouraged the rise of nation-states that asserted their independence from papal authority. Consequently, Europe became increasingly characterized by religious pluralism and political fragmentation rather than cohesion.
