 Taimako 
A shekara ta 1958, masanin ilimin zamantakewa na Amurka Gerhard Lenski ya wallafa wani littafi  wanda ya taƙaita binciken da ya shafi tasirin addini tsakanin mazaunan yankin Detroit, Michigan. Daga cikin sauran fahimta, ya shiga cikin bincikensa don bayyana cewa akwai manyan bambance-bambance tsakanin Katolikawa a gefe guda, da  (fararen) Furotesta da Yahudawa a gefe guda.

Bayanan Lenski sun goyi bayan mahimman ra'ayoyin aikin Max Weber The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism . A cewar Lenski, "hadin gwiwar Furotesta ga ci gaban kayan aiki sun kasance ba tare da niyya ba na wasu halaye na Furotesta. " Wannan muhimmiyar mahimmanci ce a ka'idar Weber. " Lenski ya lura cewa fiye da shekaru ɗari kafin Weber, John Wesley, ɗaya daga cikin waɗanda suka kafa Cocin Methodist, ya lura cewa "daida hankali da cin hanci da rashawa" ya sa Methodists su wadata. "A farkon zamanin, tsattsauran ra'ayi na Furotesta da sadaukarwa ga aiki, kamar yadda Wesley da Weber suka lura, suna da alama sun kasance muhimman alamu na aiki da ke ba da gudummawa ga ci gaban tattalin arziki. " Koyaya, Lenski ya ce, tsattsan ra'ayi ya kasance da wuya a tsakanin Furotesta na zamani, kuma an manta da koyarwar Furotesta ta musamman ta "kira". Maimakon haka, Furotesta na zamani (fararen) da Yahudawa suna da babban matsayi na "masu cin gashin kansu" wanda ya sauƙaƙa ci gaban kimiyya da fasaha. (shafi na 350-352) Sabanin haka, Lenski ya nuna cewa, Katolika sun haɓaka tsarin ilimi wanda ke darajar "biyayya" ga koyarwar cocin su sama da ikon cin gashin kansu na ilimi, wanda ya sa su da ƙarancin shiga aikin kimiyya. Masana ilimin zamantakewar Katolika   sun kai ga wannan kammalawa.(pp283–284)

Lenski ya gano wadannan bambance-bambance zuwa ga Juyin Juya Halin da kuma martani na cocin Katolika game da shi. A ra'ayin Lenski, Juyin Juya Halin ya karfafa ikon cin gashin kai tsakanin Furotesta, musamman Anabaptists, Puritans, Pietists, Methodists, da Presbyterians. A cikin Tsakiyar Tsakiya, akwai halaye game da ikon cin gashin kai na ilimi, kamar yadda aka kwatanta a cikin mutane kamar Erasmus. Amma bayan gyare-gyare, shugabannin Katolika sun kara gano wadannan halaye tare da Furotesta da ridda kuma sun bukaci Katolika su yi biyayya da aminci ga horo na coci. A ra'ayin Lenski, bincikensa ya nuna cewa waɗannan bambance-bambance tsakanin Furotesta da Katolika sun tsira har zuwa yau. A sakamakon haka

 "babu ɗayan ƙasashen Katolika da ke da ibada a duniyar zamani da za a iya rarraba su a matsayin babbar ƙasa ta masana'antu. Wasu ƙasashen Katolika - kamar Faransa, Italiya, Argentina, Brazil, da Chile - suna da masana'antu sosai, amma babu wani daga cikinsu da ke jagora a fannonin fasaha da kimiyya, kuma ba za su iya zama haka ba. Kwanan nan [1963] wasu masana kimiyyar zamantakewar Katolika na Brazil sun kwatanta ci gaban ƙasarsu da na Amurka kuma sun kammala cewa babban abin da ke da alhakin bambancin ci gaba shine al'adun addini na ƙasashe biyu" (pp.(pp347–349)

Puritans da Pietists dukansu sun ba da gudummawa ga ikon cin gashin kansu na ilimi kuma sun ba da kayan aiki na ilimi da dabi'u masu mahimmanci ga kimiyya. A matsayin misali, pietism ya kalubalanci orthodoxy ta hanyar sabbin kafofin watsa labarai da tsarin: Jaridu na lokaci-lokaci sun sami mahimmanci idan aka kwatanta da tsoffin takardun shaida da takarda guda ɗaya, an maye gurbin jayayya ta gargajiya da muhawara ta gasa, wanda ya yi ƙoƙarin samun sabon ilmi maimakon kare ilimin orthodox.
