Why you think the Enlightenment period had an impact on radical social
change!
The Enlightment Age came after the fact that the Renaissance
happened. During this time they thought solving every problem with critical
thinking will solve every issue they were dealing with in life. During this time
the society was relying on the thought of scientific method. If they could not
prove what was going to happen they would not do it because of what just
happened to them. The started to change their beliefs on religion because
in the past of couple of years they believed in the thought of the church and
God but know they say why but the religion in the government or other
affairs. This changed society because they wanted to go more in the
security way of life than the religion. In the beginning everyone thought the
religion was the way of everything but after during the Enlightment age they
start seeing Atheists. Atheists are people who believe in no God but do
believe there is a Heaven and Hell. At first there were only two types of
religions but no they have several different religions from Buddhist to
Muslim. Due to the Enlightment people were no long afraid to practice
other religions. This Enlightment made everyone understand that there is
more to the justice system then the church controlled courts. Shortly after
the Enlightment they develop the Declaration of Independence. They
became free from Great Britain and Became United States because the
Enlightment that woke everyone up.
