Religious purism in actuality is rare. The amount of neurosis required to get everything perfect is just too much for any human being of any religion with more than a couple of “ought tos” to manage. So, assuming zero pure followers of any purely singular religion, automatically there’s going to be a hybrid of some kind. Say, 98% [religion], 2% [agnostic] for that seed of doubt. That sort of thing. Or, hey, you’re basically [generic left leaning American Christian] but also [believe you come back based on how you did in this life and how this life was is based on how you did in your past life]. That’s a common hybrid.

Thing is:
because religions deal with MORALITY and the [SET OF MORALITY] is limited…. there’s going to be overlap between religions. A lot of overlap.

Sets intersecting all over the place. The notion of pure follower of pure isolated religion with which it is impossible to overlap with any other religion is a strange one to me.
