The following chart shows religious beliefs in modern Europe. Use the chart to answer the following question:
A circle graph displaying the percentage of those who had a belief in God in modern Europe. 52 percent believe in God, 27 percent believe in a spirit of life force, 18 percent believe in atheism, and three percent were unknown.
How would a chart of mid-17th century religious beliefs differ from this chart?
A- Fewer people would believe in a single God because most people believed in multiple gods.
B- Fewer people would identify as an atheist because people were not willing to share alternative religious beliefs publically.
C- More people would list their religion as unknown because there were no strong religious entities during this era.
D-More people would believe in a spirit or life force because such beliefs were encouraged during this era
In the 17th century, there was no total religious freedom or free-thinking and tolerance in Europe, in the broadest sense, the church directs the affairs of its Nation and its citizen in a way by exerting its power/domain to influence people's lives(societies, politically, and economic). The Church belief is based on the existence of a Supreme being Called God, therefore, any different beliefs that contrary to this are not acceptable, which leads to persecution. This makes people of that time behave according to precepts of been religious and supporting the church because being an atheist which denies the existence of God is not acceptable.
