One of the consequences, according to John Vervaeke, was the rise of the Protestant work ethic and its relation to capitalism. The influence of the Rhineland Mystics on people like Martin Luther dispossessed believers of any religious basis that they might be saved and left them with a hope that if they worked hard and saw good for their efforts, that was the only indication they were going to get that God viewed them in a favourable light.

One of the, perhaps under appreciated, effects was perhaps the rise of secularism. After two hundred years of religious violence, and forced conformity, almost everyone capable of thinking, was disillusioned and exhausted. Which made the eighteenth century into the first flourishing of secularism, leading in part to the French and American revolutions, the rise of science as an organized system, and the open use of purely secular thought addressing social and economic questions.

Before of course a reaction set in as in the later nineteenth century, as religion began to be seen as a useful tool for controlling the masses, and the governing classes began to fear that secularism could empower people.
