CEVAP:

The background of the idea of enlightenment is primarily the Renaissance and Reform movements. Along with the Renaissance, a new world of fantasy emerged. After the birth of Christianity, the society confirming dogmas without questioning critically appraises the approach of all authorities including the church. Scientific knowledge rises and people begin to resort to knowing the truth about the event. Thus, people foresee that the universe and the world are no place for the church to navigate them. This understanding has caused the church’s authority to erode within societies.
