John Knox did not create a religion. He was a Christian minister in Edinburgh, Scotland and was heavily influenced by the Protestant Reformation. He was exiled to Geneva, Switzerland and was taught under John Calvin, who was one of the major players of the Reformation. When Knox returned to Scotland he helped establish what is now known as the Presbyterian Church, which was based upon the type of church he was a part of in Geneva.
