  1. Go back a little farther than Martin Luther for what became the Reformation and Protestantism. That can be traced back to Jan Hus, the papal schism of 1408, and the radical Hussites, and the wars of 1420-1434, which was known as the Bohemian Reformation. The first Protestant university was in Prague, which the Jesuits (1534) later took over, but kept their secular academicians. This Protestant theology spread, and in Poland and Transylvania, it became Socinianism, which is the root of Socialism and the Unitarians. For some reason, everyone uses the time of Martin Luther and his Ninety-five Theses of 1517 for the beginning, but its origins are almost a hundred years earlier. Oddly enough, it was in Bohemia where a good number of differing unorthodox religious sects were located, and that unorthodox theology can be traced back to Alexandria in the second century, as well as the old pagan beliefs of the Romans and Greeks. The "Hussites emerged as a majority Utraquist movement with a significant Taborite faction, and smaller regional ones that included Adamites, Orebites, and Orphans."
