What is the Word for Being Open to More Than One Religion?

Though I'm a monotheist, I am open to other religions & spirituality. At least, exploring them. Not every one, just certain ones appeal to me. Like Wicca. I searched for the word that would describe being interested in more than one religion, possibly even following more than one. The only thing I found, so far, is omnism: the recognition & respect of all religions. Does anyone know the term for how I approach faith? Thanks.

No idea of the word but it probably applies to quite a few of us. The top of a mountain can usually be approached from a few different directions.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Insane !!!

Because when the anti-Christ comes along, he is going to do exactly that; merge every religion into a New World Religion under the jurisdiction of the Anti-Prophet.

Jesus said a person either has faith in Him or the Mammon. There is no mid-way. Its one or the other.

A JW Granny and her 7 year old daughter knocked on our door one sunny morning.

I have a Star of David sigil with the words "Blessed be" inside our porch.

As I opened the door the Granny greeted me cheerfully: Hello dear. Do you have a moment. We would like to talk to you about the reason Jesus came to earth.

I responded kindly: Sorry sweetheart.

I am gay-pagan.

There was a awkward silence.

She replied. "Terribly sorry to have bothered you..."
She turned around, clutching her grand-daughter's hand, and started to walk away.

As I close the door, I heard the little girl asking: "Granny, what is gay-pagan?...."

LOL

'Spiritual' is probably the correct term.

Wisdom, insight and inspirational are to be found in many places and many teachings.

Sadly Orthdoxy takes on a life of its own. The messenger turns himself into a demigod you could say. Whereas the core aim of any religion should be to bring people to the Light and help them to be the best they can be.

I always feel sorry for JWs. Their's is an Orthodoxy very much with a capital O .. but there is no denying their dedication.
