Answer:
Im gonna give you a whole abstract
Syncretism denotes the meding, mixing, and blending of the sociocultural components of different religious systems. It has been studied extensively by the scholars who have sought to account for the great religions of the middle east and other parts of the world in remote historical periods. Comparatively little attention has been given to this important social process by contemporary anthropologists and sociologists. A remarkable exception to this generalization are the lifelong studies by Arthur Ramos of the process of syncretism within the Afro-Brazilian cults of G'êge-Nagô, Bantu, and Guinea-Sudanese groups; with one another; and with Christian, spiritist, and other beliefs and practices derived from European sources. Information is also presented about the process of syncretism as evidenced in the growth and development of the cult of Maria Lionza in Venezuela, and about the remarkable case recently reported of religious syncretism among the Cora Indians in the state of Myarit, Mexico.
