"Official cults were state funded as a "matter of public interest" (res publica). Non-official but lawful cults were funded by private individuals for the benefit of their own communities."

"By the end of the fourth century A.D., the official cults of Cybele, Isis, and Mithras, emblems of Roman paganism, were either completely suppressed or drastically altered"

official religion(s) of the Mayan Empire
As their 'cultos' were mainstream, I'd say the word religion is more appropriate in English.
