What were the reasons for the reformation and its most important results in the middle of the 16th century?

Reasons for the reformation:

2) Growth of education of society;

3) The desire of society for a new order and freedoms.

So at the beginning of the 16th century, Europe was covered by a wave of reformation. Protestant movements emerge in Germany, France, Switzerland and other countries, which are led by: Jean Calvin, Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, etc. All of them fought against the church and advocated the formation of a state religion. Ultimately, in some European countries, new religions appeared (Lutheranism, Anglicanism, Calvinism).
