Cortes, like many explorers and conquistadors, was motivated by the three G's - gold, glory, and God. They wanted riches for themselves, personal glory, and to spread Christianity to the New World peoples. Men like Cortes were far more interested in the "gold and glory" parts of the phrase, and used the God part simply to excuse the atrocities they were committing against the native peoples in the name of Christianity.
