Syncretic religion seems nice at first glance, but almost all actually existing syncretic religions are goofy scams and deeply reactionary.

Sikhism itself was an attempt to merge Islam and Hinduism and now they are trying to do it again???

The best kind of syncretism is when pagan gods get disguised as saints like in several african and native american cultures that were forcibly christianized (see Candomble).

Sikhism is more of a reaction against Islam and Hinduism if anything. While it's for sure influenced by Hindu and Islamic concepts, it's distinctly neither Hindu or Islamic. It took great leaps based on the conclusions of its gurus that were, for its time, very revolutionary, and contrary to the established religious authorities it drew inspiration from.

The funny part is how a lot of the European saints are essentially Germanic and Celtic gods but nobody ever talks about that. But jackass religious conservatives in the U.S. always poo poo talk like, Mary of Guadalupe

Ram Rahim Singh's lawyers had argued in the court that he should be let off with a milder sentence because he was "suffering from hypertension, acute diabetes and severe backache"

Could the backache be caused by the rapery not something that caused him to be a crazy rape cultist.
