Not just the Aztecs. All over the world these pagan religions were doing the exact same thing, human sacrifices.The story of Genesis is unique to the Abrahamic religions. The Aztecs didn't know that story.
I guess it depended on your view of the afterlife. If it was a possibility, ending a life in this world just meant you moved on sooner and died a noble death appeasing your god.
Why?
Also, why did religions stop doing this if not the influence of the Biblical faith?
