I'm more of an agnostic, but I respect it as a peaceful good religion.

We think of it as a religion originating from India.

I can't speak for anyone but myself. I know very little about it but I consider it a false religion.

Circular Theology.

Not dangerous or wrong, just inefficient.

Your not gonna get very good answers here, why not go out and try talking to actual people.

As an atheist I think its just as made up as all the other religions.

Judaism believes if you keep these 7 laws you will have an equal share in the world to come.

* To behave justly in all relationships, and to establish courts of justice.
* To refrain from blaspheming Gods name.
* To refrain from practicing idolatry.
* To avoid immoral practices, specifically incest and adultery.
* To avoid shedding the blood of ones fellow man.
* To refrain from robbing ones fellow man.
* To refrain from eating a limb torn from a live animal.

I just let people believe what they want, and get on with life.

Each individual has a different opinion. I use to be a Hindu and practiced Kriya Yoga. So I respect certain things related to Hinduism. Though same time it is a very backward religion.

Like people marrying their cousins in arranged marriages, often the girl is half the mans age. The use of chad us(hash) by Sadhus. Sadhus sexually abusing female followers, the money scams, the caste system which is very much alive, banning divorce women from entering a house because she will "pollute" it. throwing cow urine all over the furniture. Banning non ethnic Indians who are not even Dalits(untouchables) from entering Hindu holy sites in many places, selling meat, porn, lottery while having a Ganesha statue and photo of a guru in the store hoping it will bring in more money(you think Ganesha will help you get more money when selling forbidden things?)

The caste system is disgusting. The rest is interesting and beautiful.

They think it's 'weird' and don't understand the polytheism.
