Rationalism used a more subtle approach to ideas about morality and ethics. Puritanism implemented strict codes of conduct that adhered more to religious ideologies.
William Carey
Swedenborg was certainly influential on the modern spiritualist movement, but he was one of many people expounding their teachings/philosophies on the super-natural. He might be considered one of the fathers, but is certainly not THE father. It should be noted that the writings of Swedenborg did indeed usher in a new age, but the new age that we have today is very different than the new age which was promoted and initiated by the writings of Swedenborg. There are many aspects of which modern spiritualists have taken from Swedenborg, especially from his work on Heaven and Hell, but they have left behind may others, such as the Divinity of Jesus Christ and the eternity of the hell, and introduced others which are contrary to what Swedenborg wrote, such as reincarnation. As to being a father of any movement or any idea, Swedenborg would be the first to say that there is one Father, the Father of eternity, the Prince of peace.

Rene` Descartes
Rene Descartes was the father of rationalism.
US progress is largely based on modern technology. And modern technology is based on rationalism: if it works, then everything is OK. If I think "logically" (rationally), then I will make it work. However irrationalism has much to give in philosophy and life: love, forginevess, etc... life and existence itself is irrational! And let's not forget that Godel proved the limits of rationalism with his Incompleteness Theorem...
Some good books to learn about rationalism include "Meditations" by RenΓ© Descartes, "Critique of Pure Reason" by Immanuel Kant, and "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding" by David Hume. These works delve into the principles of rational thought, skepticism, and the nature of knowledge.
In modern Western view, rationalism is 'any view appealing to reason as a source of wisdom'. It is the belief that 'the criterion of truth' is not sensory but 'logical'. In politics, 'rationalism' is a development since Enlightenment that emphasizes a 'politics of reason' (setting aside emotion), this has especially been promoted by 'liberalism'.
