primative cultures like that of the mayans didn't have a separation between religion and society like modern cultures have today. So everybody ascribed to the same beliefs, buying into them was part of being a part of society. They did however have different cults, with different rituals, whose purpose was to appeal to different aspects of socieety.

Who was smarter the Aztecs Mayans or Incas?

It is not accurate or fair to definitively say that one ancient civilization was "smarter" than another, as intelligence is a complex and multifaceted trait that cannot be easily measured or compared across different cultures. Each of the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas had their own unique advancements in areas such as architecture, astronomy, mathematics, and agriculture, demonstrating their sophisticated knowledge and skills in various fields. It is important to appreciate and study the achievements of each civilization within their respective historical and cultural contexts rather than trying to rank them in terms of intelligence.
