I know most people would answer, claiming that the Renaissance was rational and the Middle Ages dedicated to superstition. My own view, after studying this for a while, is that the Middle Ages were considerably less superstitious than the Renaissance. The bad witch hunts happened after the Middle Ages ended, as did Church attempts to suppress science. The Renaissance was really no more prolific in production of new inventions or science than the Middle Ages. The Renaissance also saw a decline in the rights of women and lower classes.
I have included a link below to an article on witch hunts, which illustrates the point pretty well, I think.
