There is syncretism. That is the problem. Syncretism and sin. Essentially, believers have sinned by including pagan sinful teachings in their doctrine. They should have thrown out such things in repentance. They didn’t. Like Achan son of Karmi (Joshua ch 7) they kept back some paganism in their doctrines, hiding it away. Islam kept its Kaaba. Christianity kept Neoplatonism. So today you get a mixture. We need to wash each others’ feet.
