The most prominent branch of Christianity in Northern Europe is Lutheranism. This branch emerged during the Reformation in the 16th century and has a strong presence in countries like Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland. The Evangelical Lutheran Church is the state church in several of these nations, reflecting its significant cultural and historical influence in the region.
Roman Catholicism is prominent in Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy.
An organized branch of Christianity is called denomination.
Let us go in order of the history of Christianity. Christianity started as one church. However, tensions rose and this church split into two separate churches around 1043: the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. A second split came around the 1500s and a new branch was formed: Protestantism (splitting off Catholicism). These three major forms of Christianity had their own area in Europe. Northern Europe was predominately Protestant. Western Europe was predominately Catholic. Eastern Europe was predominately Orthodox. The same remains today.

Christianity did not become widespread popular until the Roman Empire adopted the religion. It quickly became the largest religion in Europe. Christianity calls upon its followers to spread the religion to others. This led to forced converting and prosecution against non-Christians, most notably Muslims and Jews. Christianity has also experienced two major splits. The first came in 1054 when the religion split into two major branches: Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. The next split came in 1517 and the third major branch, Protestantism, was formed. Western and Southern Europe remained predominately Catholic, Eastern Europe predominately Orthodox, and Northern Europe predominately Protestant. Differences in religion led to wars as well.
