Most religious studies ask about what doctrines are and what ritual are, or compare and analyze the doctrines and ritual of different religions. However, this approach is likely to cause religious conflicts and conflicts by absolving or superiorizing certain religions. Therefore, we now need to avoid this attitude and instead look at what forms of religious doctrine are practiced in that religion and know what religion is really aiming for. This is because it will not only enhance understanding of a particular religion, but will also contribute to the formation of desirable relationships between different religions. Therefore, this article examines what the characteristics of Protestantism are and how it is expressed in Protestantism. To this end, the characteristics of Protestant worship are intertwined with freedom and equality, the modern spirit of the times in which Protestantism is born, and this is expressed in Protestant worship as plausibility, flexibility, dynamism and aggressiveness, as well as the form of preaching at the center of worship. This is a characteristic of Protestantism and a characteristic of worship. However, excessive preaching-centered worship may undermine the spirit of Protestantism. Therefore, as Protestantism was born in the Reformation, Protestants should be able to carry out their own religious reforms so that they can still be a healthy religion.
