“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.

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.”

No human sacrifices in the Judeo-Christian faith!
In the long history of Christian or Jewish martyrdom, there wasn't one person who killed another to be a martyr. But here was a theology of Muslim martyrdom where you kill innocent people and go to heaven and God will bless a terrible act like that. I have said to Muslims, 'You've got to condemn it' and they say 'I have condemned it.' But they don't condemn the theology behind it."
Phillips, “Londonistan,” p. 143
But.....there is a major 'religion' for which human sacrifice and slaughter of innocents is a hallmark....
....and the major political party in America embraces that cult, and endorses the sacrifice of the unborn.
Clear what they worship, huh?
