The majority of Transylvanian Hungarians are Calvinists, largely because of historical developments during the 16th century's Protestant Reformation. At that time, Transylvania was relatively independent and known for its religious tolerance, which allowed Protestant ideas, especially Calvinism, to spread more freely. Calvinism’s focus on personal faith, permission of use of the Hungarian language in worship, and its simpler church structure attracted many ethnic Hungarians. Adopting Calvinism also helped them maintain a distinct cultural and religious identity amid a diverse religious landscape shaped not only by Catholic, but also by Orthodox Christian and Islamic powers in this part of Europe.

And I’m not sure how to tell my brain, “geez, calm down. Why the fuck do you care so much?? We aren’t even Christian anymore. All these Denominations have the kind of problems that you think are worth leaving over, so like why get fussy about the doctrinal details?”

Dude this scene should totally become a Christian meme for all kinds of heresies.
