When was the First Awakening again? The early 1700s? Isn't that about the time the Age of Enlightenment began?
Do you try to look this stupid on purpose?
Do you stop taking your meds when reality intrudes.
The First Great Awakening ENDED when European Enlightenment Ideas started making it to these wonderful shores.
And for just a bright shining Moment, Americans stopped being stupid.
It was breif... but it was amazing.
Does that mean the enlightenment only lasted 35 years?
Seriously dude, stop drinking.

Wow, guy, even using the MOST GENEROUS dates for the Awakenings, you STILL end up with the Revolution in that period when we were using our brains instead of our bibles.
In short. Smart Deists rejected Religious Stupid and set up a government based on EUROPEAN Enlightenment principles.
Then we got stupid and went back to the fucking Bible.
