In what ways did some of the thinkers think about the world without considering religion?

Evolution is a way that thinkers thought about the world without considering religion. Some people believed that we evolved from animals (apes/monkeys) but people who were religous were against these therories. They believed that a higher power or a god created us for a purpose. 2 examples of theses beliefs are believing in Jesus (Christianity) or believing in Allah (Islam). Hope this helped :)

Explanation:

With or without religion, good people will do bad things and bad people will do good things or even worse things. When we practice religion in the most extreme form, which is usually the norm, we are likely never to survive because it asserts itself to be the only path at the exclusion of all others.

Thinkers sought to curtail the political power of organized religion, and thereby prevent another age of intolerant religious war. A number of novel ideas developed, including Deism (belief in God the Creator, with no reference to the Bible or any other source) and atheism.\
