Syncretism

Syncretism is a concept prevalent in parts of the Western world which mingles different and often contradictory beliefs and religious doctrines into a personal faith which can be described as "self-made-religion" or "patchwork-religion". Although there may be "elements of truth"[1] in other religions, such as the belief in one God, the idea of syncretism has to be rejected. For Christians Jesus Christ is the personated truth and the only way[2].
