Elizabeth’s greatest domestic threat was the Puritans. Under Knox they quickly came to dominate Scotland. A Reindeer75 episode.
Elizabeth was obviously favored by god and this gave her an enormous advantage in what was understood to be a religious argument. We look into Calvinist ideas of salvation, what does it mean to be Elect and what were some of the weird things that Jesus said. Harald puts forward a notion that Calvinists bring atheism within the grasp of the mediocre, though Reindeer75 disputes the notion. A few of the radical Puritans overplay their hands and they are defeated, for a time. The fact that they make good use of their time is suggested as a factor in their eventual triumph in the 17th century. Conversations with Camie looks into the religious ideas of free will vs predestination.
