A large number of pagan religions included human sacrifice. We know Central American civilizations were among them. As far as I know, none of the North American Indian tribes committed human sacrifices, related to religion, though some tribes tortured and killed their enemy adult captives. Possibly because they came over from the Far East, (my husband and most American Indians dispute that), and it was not common for Far Eastern peoples to have human sacrifices in their religious practices. If anyone knows otherwise, I’d be interested.
One of the main reasons God forbade the early Israelites to have anything to do with other cultures, (some of whom were distant relatives) was because nearly all of them had human sacrifice, especially of infants, as a part of their idol worship. Also orgies. It was an absence of morality, which defined many non-Israelite cultures. African religions also often included human sacrifices, including infants.
