The combination of the Great Awakening and the Enlightenment in the 18th century fostered a spirit of questioning authority and traditional beliefs, promoting individualism and personal faith alongside reason and empirical evidence. The Great Awakening emphasized emotional and personal religious experiences, while the Enlightenment championed rational thought and scientific inquiry. Together, they encouraged a shift towards democratic ideals and the notion of self-governance, ultimately influencing the American Revolution and the development of modern democratic societies. This fusion of religious fervor and rational thought laid the groundwork for social and political change in the Western world.
