Martin Luther was a Catholic, he too like Moses wanted a piece of the pie, was denied and so revolted and formed his own cult. It has been happening like that ever since, that's why there's like a 100,000 Christian cults. You'll always notice when they first get it going, the main Protagonist allows Polygamy so that he can get more babies born into it, cause we all know children can't think for themselves, that's why that push their religion off on them and threaten them with Hell if they even think about swaying away from it.

The cool part about about Christianity is that it is an effortless religion, Jesus is a Scapegoat for Sins, just believe in him and all sins are forgiven, there is no reason to practice Morality. Besides good works won't get ya to heaven, only being an evil little **** and believing in him will get ya to heaven. Jesus forgives, Man doesn't, that's why Christians constitute 98% of the Prison's population.

Anything that's not Catholic or Orthodox, pretty much.

Hmmm, I always thought Protestantism was started as a reaction to the Catholics selling indulgences. Shows you what I know.

All forms of Protestantism are related to the ROman Catholic Church because that's what they were protesting. SO, to the degree a present day church is related to one of those first groups it is protestant.
For example,Lutheran churches certainly, all descendants of the Reformed branch from John Calvin, Knox, etc such as Presbyterian, Reformed Church, Christian Reformed, Anglican in a sense, Churches of Christ., Congregational
Anglican is a generalized protestant group, but can be listed above as they were influenced by the Reformed theologians, and Methodists descended from them.
Most of the groups that baptize by immersion come from the Anabaptists such as Amish Mennonite Baptist, etc.
Modern day groups such as Mormons (hardly Christian really) Jehovah WItness, Christian Science, etc. are sectarian cults that did not form in "protest" of or opposition to the Catholic Church.

You're asking to list an enormous amount of denominations.

Easier to say instead. Christianity is comprised of: Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican (which is really an in-between) and then you have all the branches of Protestantism.
