Faith[]
Jesus Christ: Most Europeans who survived as slaves still followed their Christian faith. Many Aztoltecs also converted. The Aztoltec priestly class considered Jesus to be merely one of the many aspects of the god Quetzalcoatl, but the common villagers considered Jesus to be a god in his own right.
God, Jehovah, Yahweh: The Old World God was considered to be an aspect of the Aztoltec god Ometeotl also known as Tloque Nahuaque (Lord of Everywhere). Interestingly, this Aztoltec god was never represented by an idol or depicted in drawings. The god was never popular with the common folk but did have some following amongst learned philosophers. The surviving Jewish families also continued in their worship.
