Protestant culture refers to the cultural practices that have developed within Protestantism. Although the founding Protestant Reformation was a religious movement, it also had a strong impact on all other aspects of life: marriage and family, education, the humanities and sciences, the political and social order, the economy, and the arts.[1][2]
Protestantism has promoted economic growth and entrepreneurship, especially in the period after the Scientific and the Industrial Revolution.[3][4] Scholars have identified a positive correlation between the rise of Protestantism and human capital formation,[5] work ethic,[6] economic development,[7] the rise of early experimental science,[8][9][10] and the development of the state system.[11]
