Johann Gutenberg s printing press put the Bible, the Christians Holy Book, into the hands of the average person. Many discovered the freedom accorded to them in the Holy Writings which resulted in a burst of new ideas, a surge of discovery and a fascination about life; new discoveries in science and technology reduced the danger of ocean voyages; and Renaissance curiosity and focus on commerce encouraged exploration (Age of Discovery). Different interpretations of the Bible led to a division in the established Christian church that created the Protestant Reformation and the beginnings of many different Christian religions. Different groups believed that they had the only true faith and a duty to spread the truth, as they understood it. Those who practiced other religions suffered persecution. Religious persecution became an impetus for emigration to America.
