How the Pilgrims and Reformation Formed America

"Yes America was Protestant, almost everything else was and still is Catholic."

England, not Catholic.

Scotland, not Catholic.

Ireland was Catholic.

Holland, not Catholic.

Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark), not Catholic.

Russia, not Catholic.

France was mixed (there were two hundred cities and fotresses set aside specifically for the more than a million Huguenots during the Edict of Nantes period).

Germany was mixed -- the most powerful states were not Catholic.

Portugal and Spain were Catholic.

Austria was Catholic.

The Italian states were mostly Catholic.

Asia and Africa of course was pagan except for a few Christian outposts, and South America was far from fully converted by the time the pilgrims landed.

Your contention that "almost everything else was Catholic" is patently absurd.
