Humanism had a significant impact on various disciplines according to the evidence:
- In art and literature, interest grew as serfs became musicians, poets, and artists depicting subjects beyond religion. This expanded what was portrayed.
- In science and technology, ideas like a sun-centered solar system challenged Church doctrine, and discoveries revealed nature was not entirely explained by religion.
- Life became more enjoyable as people pursued philosophy, history and other subjects, and wealthy individuals threw parties instead of focusing solely on religion. Some questioned religious authority or beliefs entirely.
