Default Hindu, Jainism and buddhism?

Which of these three religions (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism) offers the greatest amount of personal freedom for a follower?

Depends on if you are an adherent in say, India or if you are a Western convert...Buddhism is fairly strict in the East, not so much so in the West...Jainism is very strict...and Hinduism has a whole lot of rules too...so the most personal freedom would be Western Buddhism...

Hinduism and Buddhism permit more freedom. Even Jainism permits much more freedom than the AbramoICCaiths.

All three have nearly a congruent morality and ethics.
