[quote=Rosver;1406]Also many religion doesn’t really use blood/human sacrifices. Many use animal sacrifices. Some offer food and wine. Mostly they just create a place of worship. The fact is, even though human sacrifices does happen, it is very rare. Many religion doesn’t really do that.[/quote]

Depends how far back you look and how you define religious human sacrifice. The Mayans, Atzecs, and Celts most assuredly sacrificed humans, even if their later conquerors likely exaggarated the numbers for public relational purposes. Furthermore, when god-king emporers kill their slaves, servants and wives/concubines at their death to be buried with them, it could be considered a religious sacrifce. Mind you, I have never come across any reference to virginity in regards to human sacrifice except in the relative modern/christinized versions of myths and fairy tales either. Of course, little is known about the details of said religions and most of what is known is through the conquerors who have reason to put their targets in a bad light.
