A person may believe two kind of religions?

Answer 1

Of course people can believe in two, three, four or more religions at once!! The basic tenents of all religions are basically the same when you stip them down to their essential core. The only differences really between religions is their interpretations of their chosen Higher Power which is influenced by their environment, first and foremost, and then the culture the belief arose from. For instance, the concept of Hell is quite different depending on what environment the culture came from. In a religion that arose from an arid environment Hell (if an accepted religious tenant) will be perceived as a hot place. in contrast, religions who practice in a more hostile and cold environment, who engage in the idea of Hell, it will be a very cold place.

Historically speaking, all religions have been influenced by other beleif systems. No religion has ever been created in a vacuum. Ideas and myths gradually seep into the newer religious constructs.

Answer 2

It's called polytheism.

Hindus are polytheistic, the Greeks were, the Romans were.

It's nothing new.

Actually, Christians believe in two religions. They accept the Old Testament religion of Abraham while refusing to practice it, and they accept the New Testament religion, which mixes a minimal amount of the Hebrew Religion with Generous helpings of the Greek Mystery religions that were practiced all around the region back in the day.

Answer 3

It depends on the religion. Most religions stipulate that they are the only way, and have the only 'truth'. That makes it next to impossible to follow two.

There are some however that try to incorporate multiple beliefs. So it is possible to be an universalist and a Hindu, as both religions believe that there is more than one way to heaven.

Answer 4

This is certainly possible, though I do not recommend it. As one commentator has already suggested, it may be likened to Burger King vs McDonald's, and this precisely illustrates the problem of so many of today's church goers, and I am sure illustrates the trouble many other religions experience: the consumer mentality. It's the whole notion that the meeting is for me and my needs, and if I don't like what I see or hear, I will go to another facility/religion. Many people treat God the same way, as if service to Him were like chosing aspirin vs Tylenol or ibuprofen vs Aleve. Real, heartfelt Christianity is about God first, about others second, and about me last. So long as people are thinking primarily about themselves, this is how long they are liable to "church hop" or worse yet, "religion hop." Jesus had compassion on the multitudes seeing that they were as "sheep scattered having no shepherd."

Answer 5

In Vodoun (a/k/a Voodoo), it's extremely possible. Most Vodoun practitioners are also Catholics. Some, like me, are also European-Pagan. It is not an exclusive religion. Unitarian Universalism is a non-exclusive form of Christianity--you can believe in other things. However, most Christians, Jews, and Muslims believe that their religions are to be practiced exclusively--"thou shalt have no other Gods before me."

Answer 6

Certainly it's possible. And in many places in the world, it's common.

People in Europe and the Untied States don't seem to know much about other cultures.

In many places around the world, both Christianity (usually Catholicsm) and earth spirituality/indigenous religions are practiced by lots of people. They go to mass, but when it comes to crops or kids, they continue to practice their older religious traiditons.

What they don't do is combine them.

Answer 7

if the mind can do it then it can be done. two religions in your mind means you might be feeling or seeing the linkage or commonality between the two,or two ideas that go against something else. this is good . do not feel confused or bad about it. most people pick their religion based on their tlifestyle ,what they are willing to give up (sacrifice) or how they are willing to live depends on the religion of choice. wanna drink smoke fornicate become christian or catholic . etc... it's ok if you pick no religion but speak to god only,at least the organized confusion won't be in your life.

Answer 8

That's getting even more ridiculous than believing in one.

I've met many people over the years who chose to go along with every religious and "spiritual" idea under the sun. Some of them believe in christianity, astrology, buddhism, crystals, reincarnation, fortune telling and much more.

The fact that it would be impossible for all these things to co-exist doesn't bother them, they just go along with the flow and try talking to dolphins every chance they get.

They're usually quite harmless, but can get irritating.

Answer 9

Believing in one religion is bad enough!

Here's the Solution to religion:

Create a private, personal, direct, divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion.

Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!

Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.

"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ, Buddha and any other being with Spiritual intelligence.

Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!

Answer 10

I think it's very possible. No matter how religious a person is you have to know that the litterature of any religion is written by men (people) and as humans they were and are able to add and omit whatever they please. I think as a thinking individual you can choose what it is that is actually important and what was added as part of a countries laws to inforce on it's people.
