The French Protestant movement was more a rebellion against having to attend mass at an official church building ~ particularly for the wealthy and powerful who, in fact, frequently had their own in-house priest(s).

When you look into the growth of that brand of Protestantism the disputes take place in terms of chapels and where those chapels were located, and who had authority to schedule the priests to go or not go there.

To us it seems rather innocuous, but next thing you know there were competing political movements supporting tradition or home worship, and within a single generation some quite serious civil war!

The other Protestant movements had an entirely different history.

"The French Protestant movement was more a rebellion against having to attend mass at an official church building"

It was a lot more than a disagreement over where to hold mass that resulted in the French Catholics massacring hundreds of thousands of Waldensians back in 1545.
