Christianity and Islam? Wicca and Druidry? Judaism and Buddhism? Do any of you take 2 or more religions and combine their beliefs to at least take some beliefs from each religion to come up with your own thoughts?

Interesting question. Its hard to answer because Buddhism and paganism are a part of me. I chant sometimes. I mostly do pagan prayers and lifestyle. They are like defaults to call them really religions.
I dont have a core religion as in "Im am X". My religion are my practices..so if I chant one day and do a spell on another, it doesnt feel like sycronicity. It feels like being who I am at that moment whether I consider myself a Buddha or child of nature.
Dont know if that answered your question?

Not so much beliefs, but ideas and practices. In my case Buddhism and more recently some pagan stuff.

Are you involved in a Druid group? I got some information on them but there don't seem to be any where I live.

No at the moment my activity is confined to reading, viewing and plain old contemplation.

I hear Druidry and Jainism makes an interesting combination or Druidry and Taoism. Druidry works well with Dharmic and Oriental faiths.

I would join my polytheism with Zoroastrianism if I could reconcile the theological differences. But I can't.

I consider Paganism to be a religion in itself: as a Hellenic Pagan I actually differ less from a Japanese Pagan than a Roman Catholic differs from a Southern Baptist. (Are there Northern Baptists? On second thoughts, I probably happier not knowing about them...) In theory I'd worship any god and learn from anyones customs, but in practice I find Hellenismos pretty complete.

In practice, I'm a Norse revivalist. But I might join that with Taoism or Hellenism.

I would prefer a Unitarian view of Christianity to be more widespread as it was in the 18th and 19th centuries.

In Luciferianism which is a western left hand path system and especially in my specific order (Mercuræn) we utilize any aspects of any right hand path system which assists us in our goals. So, we are constantly marrying one of them with our own practices . . . but only in that it is used to further our goals.
Personally, I don't think it is a bad idea at all. Many of the world religions have parts that in essence are compatible and even add clarity to some aspects of others. As a Christian who has actually read some of the writings of other religions such as the Gita and Upanishads of the Hindu, and writings by Buddhist such as Thich Nhat Hahn as well as parts of the Quran, I have found sayings in them that are very similar to my own belief and that add some nice takes on certain things. .

Many people here seem to be members of exclusive religions, like the Abrahamic ones, and they can't combine. Of those of us who aren't, I suspect that most Pagans are like me and feel that their religion, although not exclusive, is sufficient. Would a Hindu feel that there was "something missing" in Hinduism? I doubt it.
Catholicism & Islam. These two are closer than folks would ever think.
If you are interested in seeing just how close these two are,,, go to u- tube and watch the video by: Walter Vieth - Total Onslaught / The Islamic connection.
Well, this is a Sycretism DIR. Not too many people think of themselves as sycretists.
