In the modern world none. They are countries not religions.

In the bad old days on the other hand:

1) When Henry the eighth wanted to divorce his first wife he could not get permission from the pope so his regime established the church of England (leading to a variety of internal wars and political maneuverings to arrange for a catholic or protestant ruler at various times in history) which is considered the beginning of wide spread Protestantism.

2) The Spanish inquisition was officially designed to weed out heretics. As such it only had authority over christians (Yes there are many documented cases of people claiming to other than christian and only confessing to being christian after torture but confession under torture was legally acceptable in the bad old days). Then in 1492, by royal decree, Spain declared itself a catholic country so that anyone who remained in the country must, by default, be catholic.

Spain is no longer a catholic country. People of all faiths can now legally live there.
