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.
