Martin Luther, a devout Catholic monk, his reformation is a desire to return to what the Bible teaches more purely without the dubious additions to the faith the Church at the time introduced. "Protestant" doesn't refer to the protesting of the Church, but rather the Pope's primacy over the Church. That is, the Bible has supreme authority over whatever governance of Christendom. It is otherwise (supposed to be) EXACTLY Catholic. Conservative Lutheran Churches, especially those in Germany, look much more like Catholic churches than other Protestants and even some Catholic churches.
Sorry, that's a wordy way of saying that Lutheranism is a distilled Christianity, doing away with the corruption humanity inherently introduce into the faith.
DESU I don't particularly even like the term Lutheran or Protestant as a result. I don't like thinking it as a denomination or sect. It is simply Christianity. I'm sure every dingus says the same about their 19th century American heresy, though. Hence, the struggle continues.

I was a contractor for the Mormons before. I got to work in their office where they do all their apps, websites, everything technical. I learned a lot. One thing I learned is that despite no coffee or tea, Red Bull and Monsters were fair game. I also had it in my contract that I could bring in a drink coffee lol.

Yeah... I'd take a Mormon neighbor over an atheist any day of the week, though.

That's not true. That's not true at all.
