For the linguistic term, see syncretism (linguistics).
Syncretism
/ˈsɪŋkrətɪzəm/ is the combining of different (often seemingly
contradictory) beliefs, often while melding practices of various schools
of thought. Syncretism may involve the merger and analogising of
several originally discrete traditions, especially in the theology and
mythology of religion, thus asserting an underlying unity and allowing
for an inclusive approach to other faiths.
