Well at the least I think the anticlericism and anti-academic approach to religion directly contributed.
Yeah I mean they did in point of fact do stuff like try to excommunicate Spinoza (though that was partly driven by a desire to protect the Jewish community as a whole from persecution by giving no quarter to atheism)

Obviously. But in general, in Jewish thought, our experience has been rather different from Catholicism while still pointedly having both a notion of some level of educational gatekeeping for formal doctrine AND vast, VAST diversity within our spheres.

So it's not "you must have a faith 'purified' of tradition and canon outside of scripture to allow for diversity."
