What was the influence of religion on politics in the Mesoamerican world?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
Religion played an important role in the development and daily life of Mesoamerican cities. Animism expressed the spiritual vitality of nature in the form of the rain god, sun god, and so forth. To ensure agricultural productivity, Mesoamericans believed that the gods who ruled the natural forces needed to be appeased in part through blood sacrifice. This necessitated finding victims, preferably prisoners of war (although voluntary bloodletting by nobles was also common). Thus religious belief was partially responsible for military campaigns.
