- The English Civil Wars of 1642-8 began as the last of Europes wars of religion and ended as the first modern revolution. www.gresham.ac....
Parliamentarians had been fighting for the chance to finish Englands Reformation, but the experience of war convinced some of them that thr mere reshaping of the establishment was not enough. To be true to their religious vision, something more searching and profound was needed. This restless spirit manifested itself in various sects and fellowships, united by a loathing of complacency and hypocrisy, which both supported and helped to undermine the republican experiment.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: www.gresham.ac....

10:31 Very insightful.
As to Catholic traditionalists not being extremist, how, unless you mean traditionalists only in sense of retention of latin mass?
With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad
people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes
religion.
I know that that quote has been attributed to Professor Steven Weinberg, but do you know who used it originally? (I am just curious)
Paul Wilkinson
As far as I know it is original to Professor Weinberg.
I've always seen it attributed to him and never to anyone else.
The problem with that quote is that it doesn't remind us that the religions that have done the most evil and killed the most people (Stalinism, Hitlerism and Maoism) aren't thought of as religions.
You forgot market fundamentalism and the religion of anarcho- capitalism - aka libertarianism in the US and the followers of Ayn Rand.
BTW should the American religious right be thought of as religious.
Seem like political extremists to me.
Those Trump rallies seem very religious to me, as well as disturbingly reminiscent of those rallies the Germans used to hold back in the 30's.
