Religious Syncretism

Religious Syncretism is a phenomenological process in which discrete religious traditions, practices, or beliefs intermingle and coalesce into a new or transformed religious system, distinguished by the integrative adaptation of elements from multiple religious sources rather than mere juxtaposition or external influence.
