Was the Thirty Years War caused by predominantly Political or Religious Reasons?

by Southfarthingdank

It seems that on the top it looks like the Thirty Years War was just about religious differences but it seems to have a lot of political undertones. Would you say it was political or religious? Are there any people of the time that really exemplify one way or the other? edit: this is a homework question
