The Age of Reason was a period that came after the Purtians, seeing that in many respects, the Purtians were not 'reasonable' (Salem Witch Trials being a great example). The Great Awakening attempted to revive those strict and religious 'Puritan' sentiments. However, this kind of strict moral code could not last forever, and eventually softened. The Age of Reason marked the beginning of The Enlightenment, characterized by a rational approach to the world (think of all of the major scientific minds and philosophers in the late 18th century). Using logic, rather than ascribing everything to God's will as had been done during the time of the Puritans/The Great Awakening.
