Huldreich (or Ulrich) Zwingli was a Protestant leader following the lead of Martin Luther in protesting certain practices and theological points of the Catholic church of his time. He lived from 1484 to 1531. He emphasized a simple faith of contemplation and worship. One of his views included the idea that all statues of saints and pictures in church buildings were idols and should be removed from places of worship or even destroyed?. A story exists that he encouraged the process of whitewashing over the walls and art in many churches in Switzerland to restore them to the simple places of worship that he saw they should be.

A party of believers known as the Anabaptists? arose in 1523 among followers of Zwingli, rejecting [Infant Baptism or pedobaptism]?, supporting the idea of [Believer's Baptism]? and supporting the concept of [Separation of Church and State]?.
