Document Summary
You have three major christianities in europe now: Colonialism and the discovery of the africa, india, and n&s america brought christianity around the world. You want the folks your country colonizes to take the same religion of your country so england would be sending protestant missionaries to its colonies and. Spain would be sending catholic missionaries to its colonies, etc. Check out a movie called black robe, canadian movie about early missionaries. Christianity became the dominant religion in many of these places. At the same time as everyone in the colonies were being converted, europeans themselves were beginning to be less religious during the enlightenment. Enlightenment also allowed for more freedom of religion as well now that some people were protestant and some were catholic and that wasn"t going to change, people had to move beyond that. Separation of church and state since religion was becoming more of a private matter and less a political position.
