Please read the religious justification and curriculum focus under Western Religion. To amplify our focus, we often see relationships between religions due to cultural and religious development and proximity. Though we do not have the time to discuss every denomination and sect, the curriculum attempts to connect and cross-reference when appropriate. This art of combining and extending religious understanding is discussed below: Syncretism is the attempt to reconcile disparate or contrary beliefs, often while melding practices of various schools of thought. The term means "combining," . . . Syncretism may involve attempts to merge and analogise several originally discrete traditions, especially in the theology and mythology of religion, and thus assert an underlying unity allowing for an inclusive approach to other faiths.
Hinduism is the predominant religion[ of the Indian subcontinent, and one of its indigenous religions. Hinduism includes Shaivism, Vaishnavism and Śrauta among numerous other traditions. It also includes historical groups, for example the Kapalikas. Among other practices and philosophies, Hinduism includes a wide spectrum of laws and prescriptions of "daily morality" based on karma, dharma, and societal norms. Hinduism is a conglomeration of distinct intellectual or philosophical points of view, rather than a rigid common set of beliefs.
