[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks to the posters who gave so much thought to  other fields besides religion that exhibit different beliefs within one framework.

I'd say Philosophy is the only one mentioned that really fits.   The others - music, food, etc. reflect different tastes, that developed independently of each other, but not really different  beliefs.

Also, it's not unusual and considered perfectly acceptable, for people to enjoy several types of music and cuisines once exposed to them.  But you can have just one philosophy or religion at a time.[/quote]

I think art easily qualifies as well - very divergent to beliefs about and forms of art.

Fashion probably qualifies as well - no consensus on what looks good [/quote]

Meanwhile, It's OK to like different kinds of art and fashion at the same time.  It's called being eclectic. So , in that way, they're different from religion which requires you to identify with a certain religion or not.  Granted, some people may not want to identify with a particular religion or any religion, but their attitudes are not considered to be socially acceptable.[/quote]

I know many people who blend different faith traditions within the one they officially practice.

Art really has extremely different ideas about what art is and how best to express it. Being a practicing artist involves many different beliefs.

If you want to be ridgid and literal minded - obviously they are not exactly the same. But OPs question was what other categories involve many different belief systems. When you think about it, many important areas of life involve a great range of belief systems .[/quote]
