1. A member of a Western Christian church whose faith and practice are founded on the principles of the Reformation, especially in the acceptance of the Bible as the sole source of revelation, in justification by faith alone, and in the universal priesthood of all the believers.
2. A member of a Western Christian church adhering to the theologies of Luther, Calvin, or Zwingli.
3. One of the German princes and cities that supported the doctrines of Luther and protested against the decision of the second Diet of Speyer (1529) to enforce the Edict of Worms (1521) and deny toleration to Lutherans.
Basically, a religion that was founded when the people realized the Roman Catholic church was going nuts and so they decided they had to stop this somehow. Protestantism is often misunderstood because some protestants of the past were way too radical, like for example, Hitler.

Normal Protestants just believe in faith, God and the Bible, since they believe the Roman Catholic church is full of bs-ers and one of the few last worthy people in there died a couple of months ago.
Crazy Protestants kill those who don't agree with them.
Because of the crazy protestants the normal ones are often misunderstood.

Get the Protestant mug.One who believes that the purpose of a Republic is to question every word the government says. Also, they tend to believe that we killed millions of Iraqis even though we killed less then 100,000. They say this is wrong even though that number x10 would have been killed within the next 7 years by Saddam if he would have been left in power.
Wow, that highly intelligent war protestor decided to block traffic during rush hour instead of writing a letter or getting a petition together to send to his/her congressman!

Get the antiwar protestor mug.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.

Get the protestant mug.Someone who knows the horrors of war and its consiquinces. It's easy to say yoru pro-war when your just a person sitting abck watching the tv at home. However, by getting facts on war, you realize it is hell for the people who face it directly. War is not good but it will stay.

Get the antiwar protestor mug.One who gives the impression of being against the use of force, but actually embraces it. For example, antiwar protestors actively decry the use of force against armed opponents of a foreign country, but actively support the use of force against unarmed citizens of their own country for the purpose of redistributing their wealth. They are typically the same ones who whine and gnash their teeth over guns, but yet ironically would be unable to force you to pay into various social programs were it not for the gun.
Jane Fonda was an antiwar protestor. Being a rich leftist, she was against the use of force, unless said force was used to redistribute your wealth into programs she deemed worthy.
