Neutrality[edit]

This article seems to lack a neutral point of view. See Wikipedia:Neutral point of view for details on this policy. For instance: Protestants created religious freedom? I can't think of any possible way that's true. And if we cite Luther's theology in this regard, it should be done with more care and fewer blanket claims.

The idea that pastors' wives somehow created positive conditions for women is also a huge joke. We might as well remind that the witch craze was a distinctly protestant phenomenon. 74.56.208.54 (talk) 20:27, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A neutrality-template has now been placed in the article. While the article does convey a lot of interesting information, it portrays Protestant culture in a very positive way. This seems to be related to Max Weber's idea of protestant work ethic. While this makes sense to include, it is not the general consensus - as far as I know - and we should therefore include other scholarly views. --Inc (talk) 22:35, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As for women, see Template:1500sProtestantwomen. I agree the Protestant work ethic section is too sunny and no contrary views are stated.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 04:52, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
