Home›Abrahamic (Monotheistic)›Where Practised›MexicoRegionMexicoThe Americas and the CaribbeanDocumented History and SocietyVerifiedMexico, as this atlas uses the name for a region, is the country in North America that borders the United States to the north and Guatemala and Belize to the southeast. The source dates human presence to at least 11,500 BC and describes Mesoamerica, home to the Olmecs, Maya, Zapotecs, Teotihuacan civilization and Purépecha, as a cradle of civilization. Spanish colonization began in 1521 when an indigenous alliance defeated the Aztec Empire, founding the colony of New Spain. Traditions, rites, texts and sacred sites are placed here when they arose in or belong to the modern country, whether pre-Columbian, colonial or later.MexicoConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)MexicoFilter Results1 entryPlace of OriginAllGalilee (1)DenominationsAllAfrican Methodist Episcopal Church (1)African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (1)Aladura (1)American Baptist Churches USA (1)American Unitarian Association (1)Amish (1)Anabaptism (1)Anglican Communion (1)Anglicanism (1)Armenian Apostolic Church (1)Assemblies of God (1)Assyrian Church of the East (1)Baptist (1)Bulgarian Orthodox Church (1)Calvinism (Reformed) (1)Christian and Missionary Alliance (1)Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (1)Christian Reformed Church in North America (1)Christian Science (1)Church of Cyprus (1)Church of England (1)Church of God (Anderson, Indiana) (1)Church of God in Christ (1)Church of Greece (1)Church of Ireland (1)Church of Scotland (1)Church of Sweden (1)Church of the Nazarene (1)Churches of Christ (1)Congregationalists (1)Coptic Orthodoxy (1)Disciples of Christ (1)Dutch Reformed Church (1)Eastern Orthodoxy (1)Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (1)Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church (1)Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (1)Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (1)Evangelicalism (1)Free Methodist Church (1)Georgian Orthodox Church (1)Global Methodist Church (1)Grace Communion International (1)Greek Orthodox Church (1)Historically Black Protestant Tradition (1)Jehovah's Witnesses (1)Kimbanguist Church (1)Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) (1)Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod (1)Lutheranism (1)Mainline Protestantism (1)Maronite Church (1)Mennonites (1)Methodism (1)Moravian Church (1)National Baptist Convention of America (1)National Baptist Convention USA Incorporated (1)Nondenominational Christianity (1)Old Believers (1)Oneida Community (1)Oneness Pentecostalism (1)Oriental Orthodoxy (1)Pentecostalism (1)Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
