protestant colonies are successful thriving places. catholic colonies all involve massive rape and slaughter of the natives, and end up as non-white shitholes with low standards of living and no inventions.  the catholics raped and despoiled two entire continents africa and south/latin america turning them into shitholes forever. the protestants had tons of kids and spread across the map in the us and canada and started inventing planes, trains, electricy, and landing rockets on the moon. the only reason ottomans were in europe to begin with is because of catholic stupidity, literally burning down constantinople so muslims could take it over.  as for the religious wars you're blaming one side of the conflict instead of blaming abrahamic religion itself which always results in this kind of war. not war for political or economic means, but war for "interpretations of words on a page".
