Yes I agree that religion was the most important factor that was used in the explanations that was done in the Witch hunts in the period mentioned.

I agree to a very great extent on this.

<h3>What role did religion play in the Witch hunts?</h3>

Religion was the factor that was used to explain the behavior of the people at the time that had hysterias that was classified as witch craft.

These people were tried and then declared as guilty using Biblical terms and laws as the basis of doing so. A lot of these women lost their lives in the process because they were staked.

The religion that was known to be common with this belief was Christianity at the time. Both the Catholics and the protestant Christians.

This is likened to what had happened at the Salem witch trials were women were accused of being witchjes and they were killed for this fact.

Hence we would say that religion is a factor that played out in the Witch trials that happened in this period of time.

Explanation:

Calvinism originated with the teachings of John Calvin in the 16th century. The Reformation in Switzerland when Huldrych Zwingli began preaching what would become the first form of the Reformed doctrine in Zürich in 1519.

Zwingli and John Oecolampadius became embroiled in conflict over the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist with Martin Luther, leading to a division between Lutheran and Reformed Protestants. Several theologians succeeded Zwingli, the best known of which is John Calvin in Geneva, but other reformers like John Oecolampadius, Heinrich Bullinger, Peter Martyr Vermigli, and Wolfgang Musculus were also very influential in the development of Reformed theology.

Reformed faith spread throughout Europe in the 16th century, with different character in different places. Calvinism was the dominant form of Protestantism in France. After a period of struggle Calvinists were officially tolerated there. Under the leadership of John Knox the Church of Scotland, which was Reformed, became the established church in Scotland. In the Netherlands, Calvinism also became the official established religion following a period of persecution. During the Reformation, Calvinism was the primary Protestant faith in Belgium but was eradicated in favor of the Counter-Reformation. Germany remained predominantly Lutheran during the 16th century, but Reformed worship was promoted intermittently by rulers in Electoral Palatinate, Margraviate of Brandenburg, and other German states. Reformed ideas also influenced Protestants in Eastern Europe, especially Hungary and Romania. The reform of the Church of England was also influenced by Reformed theologians, and remained so throughout the 16th century.
