Cell phones, cars, tvs, cameras, house hold appliances, anything with microchips in it has transistors, and without them they couldn't work. How important it is for electronic communication is seen in the idea that there wouldn't be cell phones or computers without them.
Answer: Catholic Church.
Explanation:
For the first time in history, the Catholic Church's authority was seriously questioned by the Reformation. Reformers began to point out irregularities in the church, injustices such as the sale of inductions.

Islam regulates, apart from beliefs, also everyday life and customs. For example, it restricts what you can eat (halal) and effectively ensures that you will most likely eat with fellow Muslims (you're unlikely to eat non-halal food with non-believers).
It also regulates your day, requiring you to pray five times a day - this has a big influence on people's everyday life.
