In 1990's It had the loyalty of 700 million people. Most are found in India. Their bible is called Vedas! they worship animals and symbols of reproduction. If your a nice person the first time around you come back like a king. If your bad you come back as an insect. Or really bad you come back as a women.
Gee those cultures sure don't like women very much. Is that true today. Or is this just something westerners believe?

women are important in hinduism. they do not worship animals, they worship the supreme being, who is represented in many aspects to remind everyone that he is a part of everything. symbols of reproduction means symbols of life....is there anything wrong with that? why not celebrate life? if youre were a good person in your previous life, you come back as a rich human. not so good=not so rich person. bad person = animal, very bad person= insect, really really bad person = plants. being reincarnated as a women definitely is not the worst fate.
what you just said is what westerners believe because they dont bother to go out side their own world

The vedas consider women equal to men, even disallowing certain rituals to be performed without a wife, and many of the rituals require showering gifts on women and girls. The current negatove belief by some Indians is in large part due to the influence of Muslim conquerers.

read the Bhagvad Gita it'll explain more, but Hinduism has 100's of sects and each is followed by a goup belonging to a specific region.
their religion is rich with parables which can be instructive. but any religion's parables believed to be literal interpretations are likely to lead you away from the truth they are trying to convey.

Putting a question mark on a statement does not make it a question. Would you like to delete this, and ask a question now?

No that is true.
Hinduism, has not real right or wrong, and you have to work your way to Nervana.
Jesus Christ who is real however paid the price allowing all who have sinned to be forgiven and saved.
