The Scottish Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that happened during the 18th Century. It covered a wide range of ideas in the areas of philosophy, chemistry, geology, architecture, poetry, engineering, technology, economics, sociology, medicine and history.
David Hume believed in hard evidence, if you could not use facts or proof then it was not true. He stood firmly against the church for that same reason, they could not provide a shred of evidence to support their claims of god or heaven and hell, and that they used these ideas to take a hold of the faithful.
