The answers are: New ideas about the political organization of society. Challenging the absolute authority of the Church.

Secularism entails the separation of Church and State.

During the Renaissance period, writers like Machiavelli and Hobbes changed the understanding of the State and turned it into a philosophical and human problem, not necessarily linked, anymore, to the Church.

Also, other thinkers, like Luther, directly challenged the absolute authority of the Roman Catholic Church which made it possible for philosophy and political thought to grow outside of the control and boundaries imposed by the Papacy.
