The Christian Church affected the Reniassance by influencing people that we are all equally the same and have the same rights.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Renaissance started in the mid-fourteenth century in Italy and was in high gear in the fifteenth century. It was a melancholy end to the great age of faith which had proceeded it. G. K. Chesterton says that the Renaissance "was a resurrection of old things discovered in a dead thing [the ancient world'" in contrast to the "great growth of new things produced by a living thing" which was medieval culture. The Renaissance initially started out trying to revive ancient Latin and Greek as it was used by the ancient Latins and Greeks, it was originally a linguistic revival. Prior to the Renaissance all of these ancient things were known and studied, but in a Christian light, the Renaissance scholars tried to discard their Christian eyes and look at things as purely pagan. Sadly, they succeeded all too well, for the first time in Christian Europe a purely secular business culture arose and businessmen discarded their Christianity when entering the Office. A coldness crept into Christian life as more and more Christians arranged their lives around something other than the Church. This depressing outlook would give rise in the sixteenth century to great heretics like Martin Luther, Calvin, and Henry VIII who would look at their futures more in terms of what they wanted instead of what God wanted, thus giving rise to the great protestant revolt leading millions of souls astray and away from salvation.
