Western Europe has been predominately Christian since even before the Roman Empire adopted the religion. In 1054, the first separation of Christianity occurred when the Greek Orthodox Church split from the Latin Roman Catholic Church (Orthodoxy and Catholicism), this being the East-West Schism. Then in the 16th century, another separation of Christianity took place when several Europeans (mainly in Northern Europe) protested the Catholic Church and adopted their own form of Christianity, becoming known as Protestantism. Protestantism is formed of many different religions such as Anglicanism, Calvinism, Lutheranism, etc. This means that today, Christianity is split into three main branches: Catholicism (which remains the single largest denomination), Orthodoxy (composed of many different churches such as Greek Orthodoxy, Russian Orthodoxy, Romanian Orthodoxy, etc.), and Protestantism (which is the smallest of the branches).
