The printing press allowed common people access to written religious documents, such as The Bible.
Given the opportunity to read those documents for themselves, people formed their own opinions, and didn't always agree with the dogma that was being preached from the pulpit.
Access to books also gave people opportunities for education, and with education came enlightenment. Educated people tend to question everything, among the subjects questioned were religion.
