Rationalism - is the belief in reason and logic as the main path to knowledge

The Enlightenment: a period from the late 1600s to the late 1700s in Europe, in which people changed their outlook on life. People began to place their trust in reason and observation as the best sources of understanding and progress. People also began to reject authority so they could think for themselves

Enlightenment philosophers preferred rational thought to faith based on the Bible, though most of them continued to believe in God.

Enlightenment thinkers questioned foundations of religion, and government. This led to many clashes with accepted beliefs and the ruling powers who upheld them.

Christian faith was based on trust in the Bible as God’s word Christian faith was based on trust in the Bible as God’s word. Enlightenment thinkers believed that humans were able to discover truth for themselves.
