Christianity was the most powerful religion during that time. During the scientific revolution the power of the church weakened as science became an actual field. Less people started believing in the church teaching as it didn't match with the scientific discoveries at that time
Hope this helps !
The Patriot Act is your answer if anyone needs it.
In the story "Macbeth" the 3 witches told the prophecy that Macbeth would not be able to be killed by any man born from his mother's womb. Macbeth takes this as a sign that he can not be killed by anyone but we find out that Macduff was technically born by a C-section meaning that although he was born from his mother, he was not born traditionally and was considered to not be born by the womb. I hope this helped!
becuase people don't like change and for all Americans know they could be spys from the counrty that they said they were trying to get out of.
