Christianity began to spread throughout the globe, through Asia, Africa, and America. With Islam battling beside it. All while the era known as the Scientific Revolution gave rise to European thinkers. Science and religion always clashed been ideas and beliefs. We see those beginnings here in the revolution as science started to become a new "religion" as well.
This story of Christianity spreading was no smooth path. Th religion was quite split into two which caused complications within itself. The Roman Catholics of Western and Central Europe and the Eastern Orthodox of Eastern Europe and Russia. The Protestant Reformation shattered the Roman Catholics unity by issuing the Ninety-Five theses basically saying bad things about the Church. The result, it cause even more divisions trough Europe. The spreading of Christianity did have benefits. Since the religion was widespread the word of God and faith was global in the early modern era. (only good of course if you belief in this stuff). Spanish America widely accepted the belief and also Native Americans ho were baptized by 1700. Whereas Chinese widely rejected the idea. They had their own beliefs that they stuck to and didn't bother with Christian ideas.
