Abstract: This paper explores cultural conflicts that marked the disintegration of Christianity under the challenges of various Reformation movements. Rejecting Catholic tradition, the protestant reformation proposed a new age based on the liberation of conscience and emancipation from tradition. It would cause unprecedented social turmoil, where new religious freedoms required protection by means of secular coercion. The subsequent confessionalisation of territories proliferated new cultural models with the pretension to toleration but also increased the likelihood of civil war. Lastly, Reformation movements would create quasi-religious ideologies of chosen nations based on world-immanent perceptions of time. This essay ends with a reflection on the ambivalence of the Christian foundations for the collectivist and individualist radicalism of secular movements.
Key words: Cultural Models, Catholicism, Reformation movements, Protestantism
