I didn't see Gibson saying we are better than the Aztec/Mayans but rather analogous to it.

Yes, there are both strains: our mission as the bearers of the Christian message, which will eventually overcome the worst excesses, and the fact that all have fallen short of the ideal, so that we are indeed somewhat analogous.

Did you notice the woman who was being carried around on that portable throne? In one fleeting moment, she is seen to be wearing the stars and stripes. (Tell me I really saw that, and was not overdosing on popcorn.) Then as the violence accelerates, she appears doubtful about it all.

No, I didn't see it and I've seen the movie twice. The last time in a theater with DLP projectors.
