God loves Hindus & Buddhists as much as He loves Christians. I'm thinking that you're being insecure to not believe that God loves you. I'm a Christian and I wonder why God would love me....
Lets look at it in earthly terms:
Heaven is God's home....He's having a big party. You can't get in unless you have a ticket from His Son. His Son is giving them out free. I know His son and I'm telling you to go meet Him and you'll get a ticket to the party, too. I'd LOVE to see you at the party and everytime Jesus gives out another ticket, God is happy, because He's preparing the house for each person.
God doesn't want anyone at the party that won't accept His son....especially people who HATE His son. (would you invite people to your party or home that hated YOUR child? or said He never existed or said that He wasn't really your child?)
God has a place prepared for everyone who every lived (buddist & hindu alike) and He wants everyone to show up. (when you have a party, do you want everyone to show up that you've prepared a place for?)
So to answer your question....God loves you and wants you at His party.

God loves each and everyone of us and delights in His magnificient creation. An approximate quote from the George Burns, John Denver classic movie "Oh God"... "Go ahead, you try making a fish from nothing." Indeed God's creation is magnificient down to details as small as a fish and up to the vastness of space and its millions and billions of galaxies.
I go with the idea that salvation and eternal life is through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. In addition I submit that Buddah was a man, a prince. Buddism is more of a philosophy than a religion in my opinion. Buddah offered the Four Noble Truths, and the Eight Fold Path to enlightenment. Maginificient thinking by a man.
Peace.

God loves everyone. But salvation is only in Jesus. Hindus and buddhists pray to gods they have themselves created.

God loves every created being but he demands respect and love in return. That is why Jesus commanded us to go and teach every nation so everyone may know God and have eternal life. Christians have a big job to convert this world. There are so many who do not know and respect God. I am sorry to say that the Bible plainly states that there is no way to heaven but throught Jesus. I pray that all will see this and turn to God before it is too late.

The Bible says that God wants none to perish but for all to come to Him.That includes Hindus & Buddhists. He loves all people but He provided the way for us to be saved through His son, Jesus. The Bible goes on to say that if we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that Jesus is Lord then we will be saved. Jesus Himself said, "You must be born again"
Other than quoting scripture for you.....how about thinking this one thru.......if Christians are wrong & there is no heaven, what have they lost....but if Christians are right & there is a heaven and hell, then what have non Christians lost? The chance for eternal life.....Please think about it......

Different religions, so it does not matter to the others if Jesus accepts them or not. Some religions believe that Jesus was a disciple of god, just like Buddha and Mohammad. Christians, of course, do not believe this.

If a hindu or buddhist believed in God they would no longer be hindus or buddhists. It's one or the other... you can't have both.
You can't ride the fence... be on one side or the other.

I personally follow Jesus.In my belief we are judged by the pureness of our heart.I was born into a catholic family.We do not chose were to be born.Your parents raise you according to there religion.this is what you are taught.It makes no difference
You believe in a creator whom we call GOD .You live a good life
Your heart and thoughts are pure You are heaven bound! Any race, any culture.Jesus says "I have sheep of another flock them also I will bring" They are not even from earth.They are simply good beings.

Only if they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savour at the point when God asks them.
