The printing of the Bible had a great influence on people about their ideas about God and Church.
1. With the Bible being printed in the vernacular languages of Europe, people could now read it in their own languages. Hence, they could now understand what was written in the Bible. Earlier, Bibles were read in Latin by priests in church which few of the common people could understand.
2. As their understanding of the Bible improved, people realized the kind and humane message of the Bible. They understood that the Church had been misleading them about the nature of religion. The Church had used its privileged position to exploit the common people and persuade them not to revolt against the existing feudal system. It had sought to justify the feudal system as something created by God in which the rich would exploit the poor. By doing so, the Church ensured that people would not revolt against the system for fear of offending God. But now, once people started reading the Bible, they realized that there was nothing god-given about the feudal system.
