The church made a division between sins which were
venial and could be forgiven without the need for the
sacrament of Confession and those which were
capital and merited damnation. Capital or Deadly
Sins were so called because they could have a fatal
effect on an individual’s spiritual health. British wall
paintings stressed the connection between committing
the Deadly Sins and ending up in Hell.

Enlightenment thinkers thought
that like laws in natural science,
there were laws governing
human society. Laws of nature
(natural laws) give people rights
of life, liberty and property. Men
can build a fair society based on
reason (rationality). They
challenged the theory of "Divine
Right of Kings."
