Preferred term

multiple faiths  

Definition

  • In the global era, it is not uncommon for individuals to draw on beliefs and practices from multiple faiths or even to identify with more than one faith. Among the many cultural changes likely contributing to the increasing number of individuals with ties to more than one faith are the prioritization of individual freedom and choice, greater tolerance toward marriages between people from different religious backgrounds, and increased contact with other religious traditions through globalizing forces such as the spread of technology and migration.
