B) They felt reason offered a better understanding of the world.

The main reason why philosophers have often had a negative view of religion is because they believe that religion and reason are incompatible. This is because religion asks us to have blind fate, and to not question its mandates. Since we are forced to choose between faith and reason, philosophers suggest choosing reason, as they believe that this offers a better understanding of the world.
