How does Buddhism feel about the merging of religions?

To put in some context in terms of what I believe about God and the afterlife I would consider myself a Christian, but in terms of what I believe here on earth I believe a combination of Buddhism and Christianity (specifically the teachings of Jesus). Over the past few years Buddhism and Christianity have somewhat merged to me, where in the basics of religion and religious topics I am very Christian but my attitude towards life and people is very Buddhist. The more I think about it the less I see a conflict between the two, they combine quite nicely the way I go about it. This may result in my not being totally 100% Christian (I don’t believe all of the Bible actually happened but I do believe in the Christian holy trinity) or 100% Buddhist (I don’t believe in reincarnation but I read and follow a lot of Buddha’s teachings) but I’m okay with that I was just wondering what Buddhism thought about that scenario.

I see a large amount of similarities between Christianity and Buddhism too, the concept of Karma could be tied to divine intervention or even the concept of heaven or hell. Also, the Holy Spirit of Christianity can easily be seen as a spirituality that ties all living things together.

Just wanted some feedback of what I’ve been thinking. Thank you!
