The renaissance questioned church theologians and their
devotion to logic. The reformation reformed the Catholic Church, poetry,
literature, and art. The renaissance and the reformation changed people
forever. Most people perceived humanism to be purely about putting science
above faith. Science was also used as an
excuse to allow women to be educated. The
renaissance affected many religious people, such as the Christians, the Catholics,
and the Muslim Turks. A lot of royal people such as king Alfonso of Naples
became devoted to the theories of the philosophers they agreed with during that
time (for the king it was Epicurus). This time was a time of chaos for any
person wondering about the truth of God and the existence of the universe and
our purpose in life. Many people were killed just for writing books to express
what they believed.
