Both the Mayans and Aztecs had polytheistic religions, meaning that they believed in many gods.
The Mayans religion included human sacrifice and the worship of serpent gods and jaguar rulers. These practices derived partly from the Olmec tradition.
The Aztecs believed in jaguar gods and the feathered serpent. Most important was the sun god, Huitzilopochtli, who took the form of a giant hummingbird. The Aztecs believed that the appearance of the sun every morning depended on their devotion to Huitzilopochtli. They also believed the sun drew its energy from human blood, so they practiced human sacrifice on an extremely large scale.
yes they did because it was a part of their religion: )
Aztecs because mayans weren't as skilled as the Aztecs

Yes, the Mayans and Aztecs were indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, but the term "Indian" is typically used to refer to the indigenous peoples of the Americas as a whole, not specifically to these groups. It's more accurate to refer to them as Mayans and Aztecs.

Spain was mostly Catholic, like los conquistadores. They ended up killing a lot of the mayans, Aztecs and incas who were living there already.
No, the Mayans were a different and earlier people than the Aztecs, though they were to have a major influence on Astec culture
