Question

Answer 1

There is no such thing as "general culture". Culture is always group-specific.

To illustrate this point with something relevant to your question, there were at least two major cultures in 17th-century France, one Catholic, the other Protestant (with further differences between the cultures of nobility, farmers, and city dwellers). During most of the 16th century, Catholics were trying to exterminate Protestantism, until Henry of Navarre, a Protestant converted to Catholicism and crowned king of France as Henry IV, issued the Edict of Nantes in 1598.

Persecution of Protestants, however, resumed when king Louis XIV ascended to the throne in 1643. In 1685, Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes and declared Protestantism illegal with the Edict of Fontainebleau, which led to an exodus of French Protestants; between 200,000 to 1,000,000 of French Protestants fled to England, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark and Prussia...
