How come protestant countries became so much more economically successful than Catholic countries
>>461316
China isn't protestant you dumbfuck, neither are the most economically developed parts of Germany, those are catholic.
>>461330
no but, marx was protestant
Weber wrote in his 'Die protestantische Ethik und der Geist des Kapitalismus' (1905) that modern capitalism arised only in the Western World and that Protestant work ethic was a driving force in prosperity of capitalism in the West.
This is the so-called 'Wahlverwandtschaft' (elective affinity) between Protestant ethic and spirit of capitalism.

They have low birthrates so they're now getting kucked by Arab, Hindu and African immigrants.
>>461330
>Northern Germany
>Protestant
You're a fucking retard.
the biggest gripe I have with the ''protestant work ethic'' theory is that it groups all strains of protestantism together. ''Protestantism'' covers a wide range of beliefs and the ''protestant work ethic'' isn't present in all of them.
>>461316
They didn't, it's all hyped up on Usury.
In England, the Tudors robbing all the wealth from the Catholics, this gave them a bump for awhile, but ass soon as all the booty had dried up, they got the Jews to start using USURY ot make an false economy.
>>461354
All of Europe has low birth rates its just the protestant countries because they're economically more successful
The inquisition terrorized the population enough to cause PTSD brain retardation. Protestant countries who separated church and state allowed the growth of science and economies from the technological gains.
Honestly i think just geography and luck contributed more than anything, just so happened all the protestant countries were best suited to explore the atlantic

It's a meme anglos love for no reason.
Catholicism is a curse.

>African Christians are mostly Protestant.
>Utter shitholes
>Catholic Latin America and the Philippines.
>Shitholes but have a shot at improving themselves.
Of course. Protestantism!

Which is hilarious since Anglicans are hipster Catholics

The richest parts of Germany are in the South.

This is why it bugs me when English /pol/ kiddies cite the 'protestant work ethic' for their success, it wasn't even a thing in England.

The richtest parts of Germany are the agglomerations of
Frankfurt - Protestant
Munich - Catholic
Stuttgart - Protestant
Hamburg - Protestant
>muh Bavaria
And that's it
Across the board, protestants are the better

One factor could be that Protestants don't worship saints and therefore have less free days, which leads to a higher overall productivity.
Bavaria was flooded with Protestant refugees from Eastern Germany after the war, though.
>>461316
Mexicans are Catholic.
They bring the averages down.
Anglos and Germans were protestants and led industrialization for the most part.
Spanish were catholic and never bothered with industrialization.
How come protestant countries are all completely irrelevant soulless SJW shitholes?
>>461761
>all those relevant catholic countries
france is catholic, netherlands and belgium catholic, ireland catholic, switzerland, austria is catholic. the real question is, why are anglo and germanics so successful?

That makes it the majority of anything.
20 percent catholic
>>461814
Netherlands was never Catholic, it was Calvinist and then Atheist.
>>461825
>20% is more than 45%(0.7)
I learn something every day
Catholics believe that wealth is a sin.
Protestants believe that wealth is a bless and an opportunity to generate more wealth for other people.
Catholics kept their sinful wealth in secret while Protestants used it to generate jobs and improve people's life.

no they don't
>Protestants believe that wealth is a bless and an opportunity to generate more wealth for other people.
Name one protestant church which actually outright believes this, because if anything most protestant beliefs are actually more anti-wealth than catholicism. My family are baptists and baptism is all about bigging up that hard working, poor (emphasis on poor) ''modest'' life as opposed to the easy richfag life.
>>461833
It was actually always a lot more pluralistic than you'd think, and besides before the reformation it was mostly catholic
There's this quote about a camel passing through a needle's eye easier than a rich man entering the Kingdom of Heaven, now I remember reading somewhere that the mentioned needle's eye was actually a city gate in Jerusalem or something, could anyone kindly remind me of the whole story? There was some long blogpost about it here maybe a month ago.
Protestants are best goyim, shit's useful for running a good economy and getting jewed in general.
>>461316
At this rate we're going to need a board entirely dedicated to protestants taking on catholics and vice versa.
>>461495
Why the fuck would you put the richest at the bottom of the chart and the poorest at the top of the chart
Why are Germans so autistic
Paul says that we should never be weary in doing what is right.
Protestant Christians prepared the way for the industrial revolution by abolishing many saints holidays and by encouraging people to study the Bible for themselves – and so rediscover Paul's teaching.
>>461878
I've heard a bunch of Protestant preachers more or less say this.
> look at me
> I'm super wealthy
> therefore God blessed me

While there is a significant Catholic minority, Protestants are a majority by far.
Most of those Catholics are recent immigrants from Latin America, too.
>>461955
>Protestants
This is an umbrella term akin to Christian. Protestants are not a single group, they are a collection of degenerate rebels and anarchists.
Lutherans, Calvinists, and Baptists are not the same group.

The richest region of Germany (Bavaria) is Catholic.
The real cause is race, not religion. All of the Protestant nations are racially Germanic or Finnic, while the Catholic nations are Medditerannean.
>>461781
>netherlands
>catholic
Compeltely wrong. Catholicism has only been the biggest here since roughly 1950 because protestantism has had a much bigger group of church leavers. Before that, and especially during the golden age, the dutch nation has always been one of the most fanatical protestant ( calvinist to be specific) countries
>>461316
Protestants used business success as proof that God was happy with them. More success = happier God. This translates into reinvesting into your business for greater growth and prosperity. There's a reason for the term "protestant work ethic".
It's all just self-reassurance.

Because neither of those are Protestant?
Germany is mostly Catholic and England is mostly Anglican.
