The Scopes Trial reflects the head-on clash between science and religion in the 1920's due to the emerging scientific discoveries at the time, which discredited scriptures from the Bible, causing great uproar between fundamentalists and evolutionists. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
The early modern European period occurred roughly from the 1450's until the 1700's.
Puritanism arose during the late 1500's and appealed to those that wanted to "purify" the English Church and English culture. Puritans lived strictly by the Bible and wanted to do away with the former glitz, glamour, ceremony, rituals, and riches of the Catholic Church. They believed that the combination of church and government, the King was the head of the country's government and church, would lead to tyrannical rule.
Also, Englishmen wanted to be purely "English" with no ties to Spain or its Catholicism. This included religion. The common man often could agree with this anti-Spanish/Catholic and stance wanting to break ties with their Spanish rivals after the defeat of the Spanish Armada by the British Navy.
During the early European/Elizabethan time period Catholics and the Catholic clergy were not to be trusted with priests being executed or tortured and their supporters fined or imprisoned.
At the time that The Declaration of Independence was Written, the phrase “all men are created equal” refers to white men. At the time, black men and women did not have rights.
