I know what my religion is. It is the religion of devotion. Selfless devotion to God, walking steadfastly with God and making all actions as an offering to Him. One should strive for perfect selfless compassion for fellow creatures.
What is this religion?

Yes, this is definitely one of the teachings of Hinduism, which is why I call myself a Hindu.
What other religions teach this?

The religion that you describe sounds like Catholicism.
The Catholic Church teaches that God the Father is known to us through His creation and that all of creation, including humans, are good and are to be treasured.
Catholicism is a religion that contains many example of devotion and rayer. One of the most famous is the Rosary, in which we meditate on the events in the life of Jesus and Mary as we pray.

Probably Jainism comes closest to what you describe. All religions can make claims of "selfless devotion to God", etc.
But It's the Jains that truly strive for compassion towards all creatures. To the point of sweeping the paths before them and wearing a veil over their face, so they can avoid squooshing or inhaling bugs.
Their devotion is exemplary, which probably explains why they are so few in numbers.
Maybe you should consider the Sky Clad sect of Jainism. They go around naked since they also believe that ego destruction is part of "selfless devotion". Yeah... you should walk around wearing nothing but a smile. :-))

Probably need to explain this---
Hinduism is not a relegion its sanathana dharma - a universal principle, all relegions in the world are part of hinduism, that is the reason you see so many gods in India. Secondly you can not compare it to relegions. Relegions is man made but a principle is god made - Hinduism is the relegion of gods - because it speaks only about attaining godliness/salvation..
So dear never ever compare hinduism to relegion -- it is not a relegion

I imply giving that's paramount in Islam and all, peace.
