:: Luthor’s attitude was a reflection of his time and was very normal for a Christian of that age ::

Might I postulate that - if it weren’t for Luther and “The Reformation”, the United States would not currently exist and continue to be under the shadow of the British Crown (in the same way that Canada is today).

The printing press was a far more fundamental development that led to the Reformation. If not for Martin Luther it would have been somebody else. The increase in literacy would have led to it.
