Step-by-step explanation:
Chesterton wrote religious essays that have commanded respect from some of the most ardent skeptics as a proponent of Christianity. During the 20th century, when atheism was flourishing, philosophers like Ludwig Wittgenstein, who had both religious beliefs and an interest in religious thinkers, demonstrated the influence of Christianity on their work.
The Enlightenment era also saw the rise of skepticism towards organized religion, but many thinkers, like Voltaire, held a belief in a supreme being while criticizing the restrictive social structures of the Catholic Church.
