Temples are sort of like a modern day Church. They are used for worshiping gods. In many old religions, such as the Aztecs, there were sacrifices made in temples to please the gods. Many people would go to temples and pray in them.
The things that temples are used for differ depending on the religion. For more information on the different uses of different people go to:
