The Protestant Reformation took place in 1517, and split Christianity between Catholicism and Protestantism. Rhode Island was founded by radical theologian, Roger Williams in 1636, after being driven out of the Massachusetts colony for what was considered radical thinking in those days.

The Renaissance began first, but history is not a timeline where one thing starts where another ends, so there is some overlap of the beginning of the Reformation and the end of the Renaissance. Also, there were reformers during the renaissance but they are not considered directly part of the reformation that Luther is famous for.
