One who protests (pro-test-ant), hence once used often to describe those who objected to abuse of authority by the Church. As religious "Protestant" sects no longer protest as much, the alternate pronunciation has become common.

1. A group of people that seperated from the Catholic Church (Also known as Lutheran because of the person who proposed the IDea for the protesting) because it felt that its teaching were becoming too materialistic. These people are generally giving (especially to the Church), but have been known to have narrow thinking. They did have their reasons though for separating from the Catholic Church.

The only reason America is a country. Definition is someone who protests an unfair situation they or someone else experiences. In the 1770s, the Boston Tea Party were lots of protester against Britain's corporate welfare to the British East India business the colonists were being forced to subside. They brought attention to the unfair treatment and mobilized the American colonists to act and successfully win independence from Britain. I firmly belive this. Without protesters, there would be no America, without America, there would be no urban dictionary. I do not think if the United States was British controlled, there'd even be an urban dictionary. People making negative definitions are probably from crap nations like Saudi Arabia or {Lithuania, where there's little free speech. First to the user saying protesters don't work, that is a stupid stereotype by the lamestream media. Second to the user calling them privileged college students, most protesters in America are actually not college students, so you're using the far left tactic of assuming a group has privilege because u don't like them. Third to the user saying they don't have the money or manpower to change the world, just look at the successful Boston Tea Party and black civil rights protests. I am proud to be a protester and have protested the Federal Reserve.

Originally kickstarted by Henry VIII who was originally catholic and wanted to divorce his wife (Catherine of Aragon) but the annullment was not allowed by the pope (who was being held prisoner by Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire at the time). After falling for Anne Boleyn king Henry excommunicated himself from the catholic church and a parliamnet act was passed known as the 'act of succession' which put Henry as the head of the church of england, which is to this day officially protestant (although this has alternated between catholisism and protestantism over the centuries and has sparked many feuds between the two religions. Perhaps most notably the gunpowder plot on the houses of parliament and of course the colonisation and 'thourough' by Sir Thomas Wentworth of Northern Ireland which still has massive political repocusions.)

What's the point of going out and protesting, when you end up on your knees at the end of it, when all is said and done?
Protesting is a waste of time that could be spent waking up and fighting, or at least going to work.
