Answer 1

The American Indians worshipped false gods.

Answer 2

The Spanish believed that American Indians worshipped false gods.

• Idolatry is the worship of an image of a deity or cult, being a tangible image like a statue or a human in God's position.
• Specific accusations and explicit denials of idolatry have been carefully distinguished by the historic past of specific religions. Such absurd allegations have typically made historical monuments and pictures devoid of symbols.
• Though American Indians are very spiritual in nature, but still held with the negative thought of worshipping false Gods.
