Answer:
It was the Holy Roman Empire.
Explanation:
For some time since 800?/962? A.D. to 1806, the Empire dominated most of western and central Europe. Even as its power fluctuated over the course of its rule, the territory occupying the same area of modern-day Germany remained.
I believe that the movement and faith you're referring to here is Christianity.
One of the major beliefs in Judaism is that Messiah will come: and the new movement believes that the Messiah has come, and that this is Jesus Christ.
The old belief was not to be reconciled with the new one (how can one wait for the Messiah if he has come already?) and the new movement had to split out: today it's the religion, Christianity.
