The Enlightenment A movement that took place in Europe in the 1600-1700s AD.
Intellectuals started to believe that science and reason revealed more truth than religious texts. They began to question and challenge religion for the first time.
For example, Galileo was a Christian who believed that if you can see something with your own eyes, but the Bible contradicts what you see, the Bible must be false.

Deism A new religion that developed during the Enlightenment.
Deists believe that God created the universe, but then left it alone. God does not interact with humans, and does not cause good or bad things to happen to us.
If God is a perfect being, he would not make an imperfect world that required constant intervention.
God is like a clockmaker.

AtheistsAtheists reject the idea that a god exists.
Religion should not be part of politics (in other words, we should not force everyone in a country do something based on the religious beliefs of the people making the laws).

Is Atheism a belief system?
Atheists do not rely on a specific set of books like religions do.
Atheism is not tax-exempt

An Atheist must believe that there is no God, because it is impossible to prove that one does not exist.

The religion would continue to see a rise during Japanese occupation, for the Japanese occupation forced Koreans to praise the Japanese emperor and Christianity provided an alternative.
