Answer 2

The Enlightenment is sometimes termed the Age of Reason; it was a cultural, intellectual, and scientific movement in the eighteenth century.

Explanation:

• Using the power of the press, Enlightenment thinkers questioned accepted knowledge and spread new ideas about openness, investigation, and religious tolerance throughout Europe and the Americas. Many consider the Enlightenment a major turning point in Western civilization, an age of light replacing an age of darkness.
• The enlightenment contained a set of concepts that are focused on rationality and the nature of power and honesty and supports values such as equality, growth, endurance, team, government and chapel-state separation. Enlightenment thinking  tended to make deism rise, but the assumption that God exists does not work closely with the Earth, that did not go along with the reality of the twentieth century
