The Protestant Reformation played a huge role in Great Britain's religious history in that it led (indirectly) to the formation of the Church of England as well as the many denominations that formed afterwards (Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Congregationalist, Quaker, etc). Without the Reformation, none of that could have happened because the Roman Catholic Church would have remained dominant.

That persecution is what led many of the persecuted religious groups to leave and move to North America where they could practice their religion freely. The Puritans in New England are probably the best known example. Other influences include the founding of Pennsylvania, which was founded from its beginning as a place where people could be free to practice their religion.
