It's more like Christianity is a thug that comes in, steals your holidays, traditions, and symbols and then kicks you out of your house only to turn it into a church.

I'm thinking of examples like Voodoo and Santeria, and there's something with Central and South American Christians that I can't think of the name of.

Voodoo, Hoodoo, Santeria do indeed steal from Christianity, yes. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s normal. I mean there’s cargo cults so that says something about people more than religions.

Religion says more about people than religions. I was saying that I thought the mixing aspect was common.

The cargo cults are curious. I wonder if it is more oral tradition than being like religion as most would recognize it. Maybe in another 500 years, with the proper circumstances, we could be worshiping Adm Halsey.
