In 1054, the [[East–West Schism]] divided Christianity into [[Western Christianity]] and [[Eastern Christianity]]. This split Europe in two, with Western Europe primarily under the [[Catholic Church]], and [[Eastern Europe]] primarily under the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]]. Ever since the [[Reformation]] in the 16th century, [[Protestantism]] has also been a major denomination in Europe, with [[Eastern Protestant Christianity|Eastern Protestant]] and [[Eastern Catholic Churches|Eastern Catholic]] denominations also emerging in [[Central and Eastern Europe]].
