-Those from the Revolutionary period were similar at times to the Puritans as many writings involved Christianity in some way, as seen with the Declaration of Independence and more prevalently in Phillis Wheatley's writings, but the writings in the Revolutionary period were different in how they followed the Enlightenment values such as Reason along with the belief in Natural Law and Natural Rights instead of things being given simply for someone's piety. The writers in the Revolutionary period mainly focused on political matters and wrote more secularly.

Answer:

While the Revolutionary period still carried widespread beliefs of Christianity, they valued science along with reasoning. This was because of the influence of the enlightenment and new scientific theories and probabilities introduced into the modern world of religion and science. Meanwhile, the Puritans tended to lean towards traditional beliefs or points of view that are accepted with unthinking conventional reverence. During the revolutionary period ideas were opened rather than shunned away when discredited by religion.

Step-by-step explanation:
