  • Most Mexicans hold the Roman Catholic faith.
  • It was imposed by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century.
  • Modern Mexican religion is a mixture of Roman Catholicism and ancient Mesoamerican beliefs. One example is the cult to Coatlicue, the "mother of gods" in ancient Aztec religion which evolved into the "Saint Mary of Guadalupe" myth.
  • This intermixing is also evident in other religious rites, such as the Day of the Dead (November 1st and 2nd).
