I believe you will be hard pressed to find any religion that has not been syncretised to some degree. Keeping it simple and obvious, what relation does colored eggs and bunny rabbits have with a Messiah or a resurrection? In Judaism, there are months named from purely pagan sources. For example, Tammuz is directly linked to sun worship cults of Babylon, and yet one of the months of the Jewish calender is Tammuz. I believe with some digging you'll find that no religion has been spared. However, do not confuse my words as an indictment against religion. Not all syncretism had evil intentions behind it.
Vodou in Haiti is an example of a syncretic belief system that incorporates elements from African religions, Catholicism, and indigenous spiritual practices. It combines rituals, deities, and beliefs from different sources to create a unique and complex religious tradition.
A hybrid religion is a system of beliefs and practices that combines elements from two or more distinct religious traditions. This blending can create a unique and syncretic form of spirituality that incorporates diverse cultural and philosophical influences. Hybrid religions often emerge as a result of cultural exchange, migration, or a search for new forms of spiritual expression.
The most different branches of religion on the chart are likely those that are least related in terms of their beliefs, practices, and origins. For example, religions like Buddhism and Islam may be considered as most different because they have different foundational principles, scriptures, and practices.
Different religions have various ways of celebrating adulthood. For example, in Judaism, boys have a bar mitzvah at age 13 and girls have a bat mitzvah at age 12 or 13. In Hinduism, the Upanayana ceremony marks the beginning of adulthood for boys. In Christianity, some denominations have confirmation ceremonies to affirm the faith of young adults. Each religion has its own traditions and rituals to mark the transition into adulthood.
Families in other religions may have different structures, roles, and rituals compared to families in other religions. For example, in Islam, the concept of extended family and communal support is highly emphasized, while in Hinduism, family duties and obligations towards ancestors are crucial. Each religion may have unique practices and beliefs that shape family dynamics and relationships.

Oh yes, I do understand and I can articulate my understanding of the major religious traditions, but that is a very large subject since there are many different major religions (I recently listed ten of them in response to a different question) and each religion has a variety of traditions, so it adds up to quite a lot. Perhaps you would like to ask something about a specific religious tradition. I can explain, for example, why it is traditional for Jews to avoid eating pork. Would you like to know?
