Notes
The Reformation was a time of religious transition, from a single institutional church, the Catholic Church, to a number of (competing) institutionalized churches. But the recognized pluralism of what we now call denominations took time to develop. Hence I will use the singular, church, rather than the plural to refer to institutionalized religion during this period.
The 19th-century anthropological understanding of religion relies on this change. Without a secular collective, religion likely could not have been understood as a special realm, sui generis.
