There's an easier way to go about it. The problem is that Eastern religions kinda coexist, which makes their philosophies more accessible and malleable.
In contrast, Christianity and ancient European religions are mutually exclusive, but, at the same time, Christianity acknowledges and incorporates some of their philosophy, if not all of it.
