Syncretism is the practice of combining different beliefs and various schools of thought.

Syncretism involves the merging or assimilation 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.

Syncretism also occurs commonly in expressions of art and culture, known as eclecticism, and in politics, known as syncretic politics.
