Syncretic. In Asia this is common; one can be a Buddhist and a Shintoist, or combine Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, or one can be both a Muslim and a Hindu.

In the West, this is becoming more common. The Catholic Church calls this "cafeteria spirituality" where the believer "picks and chooses" beliefs. Many people are both Christian and Buddhist, or follow New Age practices, which can blend just about everything together.
