Nineteenth-century developments in the sciences challenged the faith of the Enlightenment in a way that had not been challenged before. Charles Darwin was one of the first to say that man was an always-evolving creature and that the world would remove some species through natural selection.
Conflicting social classes sought to distinct some humans from others. Humans were compared to primal species that could be consumed by sexual thought and aggression. Modern physics and science began to really challenge some religious beliefs. It was hard to argue with sciences in the present day where are most religions solely relied on their own and mythical stories.
