The Habsburgs were Roman Catholic but certain sub-groups were greatly influenced by the Reformation. In fact, over "90% of the nobility and a majority of the population" in Lower Austria became Protestants by 1580 (Ehrenpreis, 2006). In Upper and Inner Austria fewer people became Protestants. The division spurred a rebellion from 1618 to 1620 where fighting between the Protestant churches and the largely Catholic government caused casualties and losses on both sides.

The rise of Protestantism threatened the Catholic Church's influence and undermined the emperor's power.
