Humanism is a big role in this. Humanism is the idea of thinking more about the individual (The things people felt and created were just as important as faith and religion)

Since philosophers were now thinking with humanism influencing them, they thought more about the individual person themselves and their role in society. Unlike earlier thinkers who thought about people as a whole and the Church's role in society. People began to come up with the ideas that the Church is not the answer to everything.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The way in which some of the Enlightenment thinkers differed in their views was basically regarding politics. Some thinkers of the Enlightenment believed that a better form of monarchy should be the right way to govern a nation, while some others considered that the participation of people in government decisions was a better form of government than monarchies. These thinkers also believe in the natural order of things and the benefits of science and discoveries over the old religious dogma.

Among the great thinkers of the Enlightenment, we have Mojntesquiou, Hobbes, Locke, Descartes, Bacon, and Jean Jaques Rosseau.
