IOTL, we have the religion of Buddhism as the particular religion that can "slot" with other beliefs and pantheons, such as what has happened in numerous East Asian countries, most notably Japan. Buddhism is what IOTL the closest we have to an atheistic religion, which is still not exactly the case even. I am personally not knowledgeable in general about Buddhism, specifically about the its concept of deities. But it does seems that Buddhism is by default receptive towards established pantheons....

However, IOTL so far Buddhism can only do this with polytheistic religions and theologies. Never did it able to co-attach(NOT syncretize) with monotheistic religions the way it has done with several polytheist traditions, at least so far as I know it hasn't. Indeed there is the factor of the said monotheistic religions themselves, especially the Abrahamic religions and their basic exclusivism. Then again, it does seem that their concepts of supreme being and the basic nature of the universe are fundamentally contradictory to each other....



Therefore, I'd like to know whether a religion/set of spiritual philosophy that can co-attach with even Abrahamic monotheism is possible to be made or not :)
