It was a religio-political event in the England of William and Mary ( Mary II). It was so-called from the religious connotations of the adjective ( look at all the hymns using the word Gloria or variants-including Christmas songs. Basically it was an alleged new era of religious tolerance of different denominations- such as Roman Catholics in The United Kingdom. So-called from its spiritual nature and relative lack of violence- the battleground was in the spirit- not in the fields of war!
