Solution
The Renaissance radically altered the pattern of thinking and outlook of the people. It set in motion the advent of new and powerful ideas such as humanism, rationalism, scientific spirit, and the spirit of inquiry. These revolutionary ideas unleashed unstoppable forces that completely transformed the way people thought and behaved. It was akin to the awakening of a sleeping giant.
People finally found truthful and rational answers to their questions, discovering the real truth about themselves and their environment. Everything based on blind faith was questioned, and the teachings of the Church were rejected, with its authority being challenged. Additionally, the invention of the printing press helped to rapidly spread the ideas of Renaissance thinkers far and wide.
