Gold for riches, God for converting people to Catholicism - since the majority of Spaniards, including royalty were Catholics (and still are) at the time - and glory for power. An exploerer could be from any country and had motivations which were diverse and might include scientific curiosity, personal fame, or they were on a mission from their host country to explore new land and claim it. Conquistadors are gone now, but we still have explorers.

The Spanish were mostly Roman Catholics and Catholic missionaries did their best to introduce Catholicism to the Native American Tribes they encountered. Certainly this would have been a monumental task. For the most part many Native Americans who intermarried with Spanish people were converted over time to Catholicism.
The conquistadors viewed the Native Americans as dirty people who needed to be established in a church. That is why they brought Christianity. If they didnt want to be crucified then they were tortured until they agreed...
