The purpose of German Reformation was taking back Christianity to its egalitarian, socialistic and definitelly asiatic origins. reformation indeed aimed above all to counter italian humanism and renaissance, which were grounded upon a hierarchical-aristocrstic ethos and an artistic attitude towards religion, while proposing (luther i mean) a moralistic, devout and dogmatic-textualistic kind of spirituality. Counter-Ceformation tried to save "traditionalized" christianity but it was too late. Then:

>1. Protestant egalitarianism later bacame the proto-socialism of anglo "levellers and diggers", then it took the forms of 1. locke's bourgeois liberalism, 2. herder, fichte and robespierre's populism, 3. marx's communism, and finally 4. the german "national socialist workers party"

>2. Counter reformation failed and catholicism faded. thus the mediterranean world rebuilt its identity upon the french enlightenment (which was strongly anti-egalitarian, see 'equality' in voltaire's philosophical dictionary). enlightenment unfortunately wasn't strong enough to counter the german romantik, and by the 19th century all europe had become de facto protestant (german idealism, romanticist mysticism/faux-deepness are all shills for a protestant worldview)

This is more or less the history of Christianity and its children Liberalism and Communism.
