You could start, by learn and understand about "Panca Shradda" or 5 basic foundation believe for Hinduism.
Number 1. Believe in one Almighty God, which in our word we called Almighty God as "Brahman" (not Brahma, Brahma is a Deva). Brahman (God) have assistants called Deva or Devi, like : Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu, Sarasvati, etc.
PS : There's no word for Deva (male) or Devi (female) in English, so in English they translate it as God. Which is not right. What if some language translate Saints and Angels (in Christian and Islam) as God ?
Number 2. Believe in Karma. The law that bound every living creature, from bacteria, plants, human until aliens.
Number 3. Believe in Rta. The law that bound every dead things, from molecul, atom, wind, water, planets until the whole universe.
Number 4. Believe in Punarbhawa or Reincarnation.
Number 5. Believe in Mokhsa. The unite between Atman (spirit / soul) and Brahman (God).
I'm not yet explain it to you complitely about "Panca Shradda". Please find it yourself, don't be lazy, ha ha ha lol....
Btw, I always ask myself, why peoples just believe what it’s told in their religion ? Even I’m sure they totally have no idea wether it’s true or not.
I’ve seen peoples who were blinded by their religion.. They’re not become wise and kind, but become a fanatics and closed minded. Peoples even would kill for their religion. I’ve seen many war caused by religion…
Why peoples always make excuse and even create lie for their religion ? Why peoples love to be manipulated by their religion ?
In Hindu, I was teach to have an initiatives to find the real truth (If I want to). Which is through yoga or trough samadhi (meditation). If I do it the right original way, it will linked me right to God.
Sorry for my English...

It is unusual for any one to convert to the Hindu faith.
You are born a Hindu.
It is possible to study their beliefs and think as they think if that is what you want.
There is a book called am I a Hindu that covers most of the Hindu thought frame.
Love and blessings Don

Talk to someone of this faith, and ask him/her to advise you.
