With the development of history of a particular country, there will always be development of Religion, since the Church is an integral part of State System.

Heathenism, Orthodoxy, Judaism etc They have been living for centuries. And some of them were changed, penetrated each other or reformed dramatically. England was not exception. The English are not a deeply religious race. Hundreds of years ago they decided that Roman Catholicism with its teachings about original sin and the unworthiness of the human race could not really have been meant for them. So they designed a Church of their own the Church of England. The English Reformation was a result of the chain of events that eventually altered England and Englishness forever.

So much in history is a bastard child of both long-standing, simmering emotion and the opportunistic seizing of a moment. By its nature unexpected, it is also unpredictable, and shaped as much by environment and chance as by its progenitors. The Reformation was no different. It was going on through the ages and reigns.
