The word Protestant originated at the 1529 Diet of Speyer, when the Lutheran Princes issued a "PROTESTATIO" i.e. a 'declaration' of their principles. They became the people of the declaration.
The word Protestant has had a number of interpretations over time, as the reformation itself evolved.
For instance some now would not class Luther as Protestant because he never denied the mass.
Esssentially the RC Church preaches that salvation is only for those who adhere totally to their teachings and doctrines, they interpret the Bible and RC's have to accept their word.
The Protestant Reformation taught that everybody has the right to read and interpret the Bible for themselves. When people began to study Scripture they saw that doctrines such as The Papacy, The Sacerdotal Priesthood, Transubstantiation, The Mass, The Immaculate Conception, Indulgences, Confessions, Holy Water, Rosary Beads, etc., etc., were all totally irrelevant to the simple Scriptural principle of Justification by Faith.

A person who joins in the latest trend of anti establishment demonstrations, to show the world how “woke” they are. Can usually be found posting their outrage on social media straight after the mass media reports an indiscretion. Stating how they have supported this cause all their lives. Before quickly moving onto the next headline and abandoning the previous cause and even contradicted themselves.

A person who joins a march, demonstration or protest to voice his concern or frustration about an unrelated issue.
There was a peaceful May Day march in Seattle last year, but many piggyback protesters got involved and things became violent.

Typically a late night snack undertaken just because you can and to no one is around to stop you. Alternatively it may refer to your partner refusing a Buttered Crumpet.
Just got warm in bed when I needed to wee so went to make a hot water bottle because I was freezing and now made Protest Crumpets because I needed them for the affront of standing in the cold kitchen.
