Ok im not sure why you thing that. The Second Treastise of Government (one example of many) largely influenced our Founding Fathers was written in 1689 in England. But thats just one example. France had protestants as well.Dr. Watson said:Doc Daneeka said:
The catholic church prereformation resembled the Caliphate of Islam in the golden age of Islam. It was a political and religious movement. This is why most people consider protestants the founders of western democracy. They put a "wall between church and state"
What wall? Liberal democracy theory expanded the most in France during the 18th century. You know, a Catholic country.
Protestants laid the foundation for the western world.
