Politics and religion have always been mixed, are currently being mixed, and will always be mixed. In any case. The 30 years war, as well as all of the other crises of the 17th century in Europe, were incredibly complicated and were exacerbated by a myriad of factors completely out of human control.
A couple of paragraphs and a map doesn't really tell the story. The really inconvenient truth is that if us Protestants really wanted peace we should have shut up, paid the indulgences, and kept praying to Mary.
Or maybe our choices would be Shia or Sunni.

Agreed. It’s like Larping as Baptist Templars.
