During the Renaissance people were focused on the individual and life.
The Renaissance was full of new ideas. People were able to break away
from the church with the invention of the printing press and the
translation of major works, particularly the translation of the Bible,
into the vernacular. The printing press allowed for greater access to
literature and understanding of the Bible. The Renaissance was very
tolerable of religion, and a break from the traditional form of the
church did not mean that people seperated themselves from religious
teachings and ideas. In fact, during the Renaissance there was a large
number of religious paintings a scultures. The humanists also valued a
normal life and thought that people should get married, and have
families, anf focus on life and enjoy its pleasures.
