British Protestantism refers to Christian denominations in the UK that trace their origins to the Reformation, a 16th-century movement that broke from the Catholic Church. It emphasizes principles like individual faith, the authority of the Bible, and salvation through grace. Major groups include the Church of England, which is national and Anglican, along with various other Anglican, Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian churches.
