| | Dark Ages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | During the 17th and 18th century, in the Age of Enlightenment, religion was seen as antithetical to reason. | | | The Middle Ages were seen with romantic nostalgia as a period of social and environmental harmony and spiritual inspiration, in contrast to the excesses of the French Revolution and most of all to the environmental and social upheavals and sterile utilitarianism of the emerging industrial revolution. | | | Because the Middle Ages was an "Age of Faith" when religion reigned, it was seen as a period contrary to reason, and thus contrary to the Enlightenment. |

| | In the Dark Ages and just afterwards few had or could read the Scriptures, and they were not enlightened on these points of doctrine. | | | Into the "dark ages" went a group of many churches which were never in any way identified with the Catholics. | | | The Dark Ages were the five or six centuries following the fall of the west Roman Empire, after the civilisation of Rome, based on unity and inter-communication had been destroyed by repeated barbarian invasions. |

| | The Dark Ages |
| | At the center of the Dark Ages stood the Christian Bible. | | | Nonetheless the Christian dominated artists of the Dark Ages portrayed Christ as a Nordic racial type, with blond hair and blue eyes, an image which has lasted to the present day in the minds of many Christians the world over. | | | The early Christians propagated their new religion amongst the White tribes of Europe with a fanaticism unseen in those lands until then: the murderous activities of Charlemagne in Germany and the Teutonic Knights in the Baltic states stand out as good examples and have already been discussed in detail in earlier chapters. |

| | It is a sad reality of humankind that one of the most effective tools of absolute power by any ruling class, is the persistent maintenance of ignorance and unawareness throughout the class that is being governed. | | | Many historians and educators refer to this period with the more neutral term of Middle Ages, because Dark Ages seems a commentary upon the ruling authorities of the period. | | | With a sudden explosion of learning, the literary achievements of the Renaissance sharply contrasts the darkness, which aptly characterizes the illiteracy and educational deficiencies of the commoner during the preceding Dark Ages. |

| | The decline of literate culture, the arts and sciences, and organized education, compared to what flourished during the Roman Empire, and the fact that Christianity, perceived by many Enlightenment intellectuals as a primitive, irrational belief system became the prevailing culture and institutional form during the period, led to the categorization "Dark Ages." | | | The term Dark Ages is also used for the period in the history of Ancient Greece between the 11th and 8th century BC from which no records, and only scant archaeological evidence, survive. | | | However, many of the tribes who took over imperial land were initially pagan. |
