The word “Renaissance” means rebirth, so the Renaissance was a time of reformation during the 1350-1650. The Renaissance originated in Italy when large cities had become independent from the control of a king and even churches. Many people started to emphasize the importance of secularism, which is something that’s not related to religion. Humanism: Humanism, is something that focuses on humans rather than divine matters.
