As far as an "Aztec" religion:
I don't think I would being going out on a limb by saying that there is no such thing, except for what has been absorbed into Mexican Catholicism.
Anyone who would pretend to resurrect it would be repeating the silly 1930's Nazi parody of trying to fit a selected interpretation of an ancient, long dead religion and stretching to have it make sense in the modern world.
Human sacrifice and cannibalism as a way to keep the sun rising every day and keeping the crops coming in as well as a power display won't make it today.
On the other hand, in one form or another, we still have some slavery in this country, a century and a half after outlawing it. We just call it by other names.
Speaking for myself, I believe the fight is about immigration rather than religion.
