The Mayan religion was influenced by the culture and religion of the Olmecs. The Mayans would worship nature gods (like the sun, rain, and corn).

Christianity in the Middle Ages
Newman, Simon. "Religion in the Middle Ages." The Finer Times. May 9, 2013.
Christianity dominated in the Middle Ages. The laws of the land and leading roles in the government were all in the hands of the leading church leaders. The Pope were more powerful than the Kings. I chose this because I am a Christian and I wanted to know how they were in the Middle Ages. -

During World War I, Catholism was engaged in the war only followed orders bestowed upon them. Also, the church said that they didn't have to do or they weren't involved in anything that had to do with the war. Finally, they argue that the true cause of the war was the idolization of ourselfs.
