Huitzilopochtli - the sun god of Aztecs
Huitzilopochtli was the patron god of the Aztecs.
Priests conducted sacrifices by cutting open the chest and tearing out the heart. It was done in honour of the Aztec god of the sun. The Aztecs were superstitious and thought that the god would destroy the world if they didn't get human blood to feed on (they were a violent race)
yes they did. Aztecs even had a sun god and a war god.
who
of course they had a religion. The Aztecs were polytheists, which means that they believed in more than one god, they had lots of gods. The most important ones were Huitzilopitchli, Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca. The Aztecs believed that the world was made and destroyed four times, so they were living in the fifth world. The Aztecs made human sacrifices because they believed that their sun god, Huitzilopitchli every day fought against the moon and to feed the sun god, so he could defeat the moon they sacrificed humans and fed the god by putting a human heart on the god's statue.
