Answer:

Ultimately the Protestant Reformation led to modern democracy, skepticism, capitalism, individualism, civil rights, and many of the modern values we cherish today. The Protestant Reformation increased literacy throughout Europe and ignited a renewed passion for education.The Reformation seemed to lessen the opportunity for peasants to challenge their place in the class structure. Middle class members were more able to challenge the authority of the church; they took Luther's ideas of free-thinking and grasped the opportunity to have more control over their religious practices.
