Religion played a crucial role in the exploration of Alta California as it motivated Spanish explorers and missionaries to spread Christianity among Indigenous peoples. The establishment of missions, particularly by Franciscan friars, aimed to convert Native Americans, integrate them into colonial society, and promote Spanish culture. Additionally, religious justifications were often used to legitimize territorial claims and colonial expansion in the region. Overall, the intertwining of faith and exploration significantly shaped the social and cultural landscape of Alta California.
