Default Did any "Protestants" separate from the Eastern Greek Orthodox Church?

No need. There have always been many divisions in the Eastern Orthodox Church as opposed to the Roman Catholic Church. The Eastern Church did not torture and kill "non-believers" and heretics."

Without counting the schism between East and West, no, not really. Before Martin Luther, the standard model was that one was either IN Christendom or OUT. Outsiders were heretics and infidels and simply didn't count. That's what was so amazing about Luther's breakaway. He was actually able to formulate and justify an independent version of Christianity by throwing doubt on the original. Nothing like this occur ed in the East. All the sects grew up together in autonomous "agreement". The monolithic Roman pontifical model succeeded by simply suppressing the dissent of would-be reformers before Luther.

The Protestant Reformation was an event in the history of Western Europe which established religious freedom and consequently the other freedoms we take for granted which are all based upon that.
But individuals have converted from the Greek Orthodox to modern protestant denominations, particularly in America.

Protestants did all kinds of things. I imagine that there were Protestants who didn't want to be Orthodox.

But if you take the word, 'reformed', then you will see that some consider themselves 'reformed' into the ideas of part of early church before Eastern Orthodox or Roman Catholicism.

And that's what I am.

nope only from catholic because back then in the reformation the church was abusive but they are not now though ever since pope john Paul and john Paul the second if i lived in the 1500's or when ever it was i probably would have joined the Lutheran church but I'm a Catholic though and also the church of Ireland and England is not a proper christian church unlike Orthodox church or Catholic or Lutheran or Anglican or the others

The eastern orthodox church is just another of the many denominations of institutional Christianity. For my beef with them see http://www.bcbsr.com/topics/orthodox.html
