In his meteoric conquest and rule of most of the civilized world in and around the Mediterranean Basin in the 4th century BC/BCE, Alexander the great generally practiced the policy of 'syncretism.' Meaning 'joining' or 'combining,' this policy led Alexander and his aides to allow conquered peoples to retain some of their own customs, values, and beliefs while also introducing many Greek ways, which resulted in a new culture generally labeled as 'Hellenistic.'

How did Alexander the great treat other religions?

The conquest of Alexander the Great lead to a Hellenization (which means basically making the world Greek-like) throughout his empire. This included spreading the pagan religion of the Greeks and establishing schools and government buildings that were focused on the teachings of Greek philosophers. Neither the Greeks nor Romans forced religious conversion and, for the most part, let people follow whichever religion they were accustomed to. When religion started to cause unrest or rebellions is when they would step in and assert their authority.
