38. It's like dual citizenship
The fact that you can be both a Mexican citizen and a U.S. citizen doesn't mean Mexico and U.S. are not seperate sovereign countries.
I've know Buddhist Christians and Taoist Christians, so Buddhism is not alone in this respect.
Buddhism doesn't prohibit worship of gods, so even though Buddhism itself is considered an atheist religion, it's not incompatible with theist religions.
Buddhism is not dogmatic, but not too many people are going to become monks if they seriously disagree with the teachings which are metaphysical/supernatural/religious.
Christianity isn't judgmental either, one of the most quoted Christian teachings is "Judge not lest ye be judged."
