At end of the seven years war, Protestants and Papists agreed upon a truce, which resulted into two things; neutral government's with mixed populations ultimately became "secular" (not necessarily unchristian) states and states that weren't neutral fought through economic completion between other countries.
How the """"""holy roman empire"""" because "secular" (AKA ungodly) like today is due to the rise of social pressures, financial increase, atheistic philosophy, the sexual revolution, and so on.
The Reformers/traditional Papists didn't want secularism, the nominal "Christians" did and still do.
