Nonetheless, these events would have a lasting impact on the industrial revolution in multiple ways:

• Firstly, it challenged the Church’s authority in Science, which would prove absolutely necessary in the ever-continuous innovations in machinery and scientific thought imperative to the industrial revolution.

• Secondly, the new Protestant sects allowed followers to charge interest on loaned money. This became an anchor for the radical changes that financial institutions would undergo as they lent money to the merchant and industrialist class for travel and exploration and expensive machinery setups in the industrial revolution.

• Thirdly, the challenge to the Church's authority in religion eventually led to challenging political authority. After decades, people thought that the power of the political entities does not come from God (Divine Rule), but from below- the people who legitimize and agree to being ruled by the entity. This idea suited industrialists to gain significant political as well as economic power. Thus, in the new industrial world power was found in wealth. It is also from the Reformation that emerged ideas of human rights- certain unalienable rights that no political entity could usurp. The right to own property was one of them. This right became significant in both the agricultural and industrial revolution.
