Historians generally concur that the strict social regimentation described in the Vedas was not actually created or introduced by the Aryan invaders but had existed in a somewhat less formal version prior to the conquest. Hinduism as we know it today, with its concepts of karma and samsara, grew up against this socio-cultural backdrop.
One of the most notable lessons learned from Hinduism is the theme of “Four Paths to the Goal” which was detailed and expounded in Huston Smith’s The World’s Religions Our Great Wisdom Traditions. These paths were clearly identified as a path through knowledge, the path through love, the path through works and the path through psychological exercises (Smith).

Spong notes that this is not biblical, and neither is it part of the conventional Christian belief.

Gandhi learnt from and associated with Muslims, Christians, individuals who practised Jainism, Zoroastrianism, and Judaism among other religions. Gandhi significantly interacted with the Western world through education in England besides the British colonial masters who occupied India. As a result, he embraced some of the Western beliefs, against his religious beliefs and practised them.

How would you feel if you had to answer someone and live under a rigorous schedule every day for the rest of your life?

In fact, it shows beliefs from Buddhism so this would disqualify it to be positively identified in response to the aforementioned question. Islam is another religion that combines beliefs from various religions. With this characteristic, there would be no question that Islam could easily be syncretized with Confucianism.
Judaism is a religion that is composed of many disciplines. These disciplines start while a person is still in his early learning stages; it should be mentioned that practice of discipline is implemented on a person, especially the males, while they are not yet able to understand what could happen to them.
The author concludes that Christianity has faced the radical changes which have caused the split of the original church but all the existing denominations have the same belief system. Syncretizing Christianity with Confucianism, therefore, will serve to threaten the belief base of the Christian family
