At the time of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec empire, the Aztecs were converted en masse to Christianity. The previous Aztec religion has disappeared.
Following the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in the 16th century, many Aztecs were forcibly converted to Christianity by the Spanish colonizers. Over time, the majority of Aztecs adopted Christianity as their religion, although some indigenous practices and beliefs were also integrated into their faith.
The Aztecs converted to Christianity primarily due to the influence of Spanish conquistadors who arrived in their territory. The Spaniards, led by Hernan Cortes, imposed Christianity as the dominant religion, often using force or coercion to enforce the conversion. This ultimately led to the decline of traditional Aztec religious practices and the widespread adoption of Christianity among the Aztec population.
The Aztecs practiced a polytheistic religion centered around multiple deities, with particular emphasis on Huitzilopochtli, the god of sun and war. They believed in human sacrifice as a way to ensure the sun's continued rise and agricultural prosperity. Their religious practices were a central aspect of their society and influenced many aspects of daily life.
Religious beliefs were central to the Aztecs' worldview, shaping their understanding of the universe and their place within it. They believed in a complex pantheon of gods who influenced every aspect of life, from agriculture to warfare. The Aztecs practiced rituals and sacrifices to nourish and appease their gods, seeking favor and protection in return.
Methodists are a denomination within Christianity. Being a Methodist means following the teachings and doctrines of the Methodist Church, which is a branch of Protestant Christianity. So, all Methodists are Christians, but not all Christians are Methodists.
The Spanish viewed the Aztec religion as pagan and did not consider it legitimate. They actively sought to convert the Aztecs to Christianity and destroyed many of their temples and religious symbols in the process. The Spanish felt that they were bringing civilization and salvation to the Aztecs through conversion.
The ancient Aztecs were not Christians and, as such, did not celebrate Christian holidays.
