Okay, I know these two sisters. One is 12, and the other is I think 14 or 15. Their mom is white, caucasian, american, I'm guessing Christian, etc. Their father is Indian, and is Hindu. These girls are very active with the Indian-Hindu community. They look more like they are American. But they have more tan skin. They always take part in Hindu festivals. Such as Divali. They always dance in this Indian-American accociation, every year, and wear bindis. Their mother is very active within that community, too. She is always a main part in the fundraisers, etc. So, do you think these girls are Hindu or Christian?

I would think they are Hindu...
The male dominated Hindu society would not allow the woman to decide the "religion" or the "up-bringing" of the offsprings. Hinduism is more "Macho" than Christianity. Christ's message is on the "female" or compassion/nurturing side of the Male personality and most of his early followers were women. The ones who stood with him at the cross were the "holy women" and John, the Mystic. Paul was not as "enlightened" and the later Roman Catholic Church" and the "male dominated" fundamentalist movements chose Paul's writings as the "organizational" structure. It is Paul (a murderer) who places women at a disavantage in the Christian Churches. John is the one that I like and now, Thomas and Mary Magdalen, finally...read their "Gospels" for an enlightment.
Hinduism, with its "business of religious" paradigm, is in a constant expansion mode and with India, because of their "huge" population it becomes a "political" necessity. Religion and the many feasts are used by the government and Chamber of Commerce "Diaspora" philosophy of marketing the culture through the religion. Multi nationalist capitalists and the demons of "Greed" and "lust for power" (called Mammon) that is "capitalism" does the same with Western (evangelical) Chrisitanity in other countries. Now we have other Cultures (Hindu and Islamic) with a religious spearhead, expanding into our (stolen) territory in North America at least, much as the Islamic empires of the Mediteranean are expanding into Europe, even as far as Russia, with the Muslim religion spearhead, trying to "change the laws" under the "guise" of "freedom of Relgion".
In Canada, there is a Muslim "cabale" attempting to put Shariah law in Ontario and whole "communities" are being built around a Mosque, for "Muslims only". This Ghetto-isation is what will eventually explode into societal divisions, 'civil strife" and gang and sectarian violence. We have seen it often enough to know that we must "oppose" such theocratic societies to "infiltrate" our democracies and create "islands" of theocracies and autocratic and even totalitarian and "racists" enclaves in our towns and communities. Democracy feeds on information. Theocracies feed on MYTH.
The Russians are seeing the same phenomenon in their satellite (soviet) states and in Mother Russia itself where the "Hare Krishnas...or ISKON, the fundamental wing of Hinduism) is building a temple in downtown Moscow with the assistance of Henry Fords grandson. Religion is used by the "powers" of the demons of "MONEY" and "GREED", as a spearhead to enter other countries. Freedom of Religion is the Opiate ("try it for a few months and see", is their "come-on".) that will dull the mind of the population and make them "controllable" through the mechanism of "fear and temptation and guilt". The priests are the "drug dealers" and the "pimps", or in religious terms, the "judas goats".

Since they take part in the Hindu holidays and other activities, I'd assume they were Hindu. Also, since their mother also takes part in said holidays and activities, she's probably Hindu also.
You have no reason to assume that they are Christian other than their mother is white. You don't even know that the mother is Christian.

In Hindu religion there is no conception of "Conversion".In the religious Texts no where it is said one has to coax, goad,threaten, brainwash anybody to become a Hindu nor indulge in "Holy wars".It is why there is no propaganda wing in Hinduism.Anybody who beleives that the Hindu texts talk sense He/she is a Hindu.

they seem to have embraced both faiths and dont seem particulary attached in any one faith...this happens in mixed marriages...And there is a possibility that the sisters are athiest.They observe the Hindu and Xtian festivals as it is a festive occassion and fun.or to beocme one with the people around them

"They look more like they are American. But they have more tan skin."
What exactly do Americans look like? Can you spot them in a large crowd? If they were born in America then they're Americans regardless of their skin color.
If you need to know that badly, why not ask them?
