ALRIGHT SO, during the renaissance society got all sorts of yikes. Shakespeare created the vernacular (basically breaking down the language so the average person could read & understand it) which he used in his writings & it also was used in the bibles so that the average person could read them & they kind of strayed away from the church and such. Also, John Calvin & Martin Luther created calvinism & lutheranism because they didn't agree with the catholic church's views & such, which caused a controversy & people started separating from the catholic church & started following Calvin & Luther (i hope this helped!!! it's 11:11pm so sorry if i couldn't explain too well)
