will government intervene if some religious groups practice human sacrifice
Answers
Answer:
Re "In ancient religions human sacrifice was a very common way to please the gods.", most current religions are ancient and have kept their core (ancient) practises, more or less unchanged. So look no further than say the ancient religion of Hinduism, as it still includes elements of both Human and Animal Sacrifice.
It is sure that the government will intervene on some religious groups practicing human sacrifice.
Answer:
Human sacrifice is the act of killing one or more humans, usually as an offering to a deity, as part of a ritual. Human sacrifice has been practiced in various cultures throughout history. Victims were typically ritually killed in a manner intended to please or appease gods, spirits or the deceased, for example, as a propitiatory offering or as a retainer sacrifice when a king's servants are killed in order for them to continue to serve their master in the next life. Closely related practices found in some tribal societies are cannibalism and headhunting.[1]
By the Iron Age, with the associated developments in religion (the Axial Age), human sacrifice was becoming less common throughout the Old World, and came to be looked down upon as barbaric in classical antiquity. In the New World, however, human sacrifice continued to be widespread to varying degrees until the European colonization of the Americas.
In modern times, even the practice of animal sacrifice has disappeared from some religions, and human sacrifice has become extremely rare. Most religions condemn the practice, and modern secular laws treat it as murder. In a society which condemns human sacrifice, the term ritual murder is used
