Think about it, it practices free will, it asks us to respect every other religion like our own, it even asks us to respect atheist, then it doesnt want us to be pridefull of hinduism, so isnt that the liberation ? I mean hinduism doesnt want us to be attached to it, i mean i think i get it now, it want us to be human beings,
If im attached to it, then im attaching myself to one group of human beings which can cause seperation and double standards, this is explained by the VEDAS
Its asks you to practice something which is right, which means sanatana dharma,thats all
Oh well im human

Perfectly correct--because of "Free Will" only--not like "Sheep" they do not go one after the other.They are NOT constantly obsessed with the urge of "convincing" other religious people about Hindu religion.Lord Krishna says "Yep Anya devatha bhakthaahaa-thaypi maam eva Kuontheya"=Arjuna! any person worshipping any God by any name/ form or formless(claiming to belong to any Religion),they worship Me(Lord God Krishna) only--"Yajanthay Avithi Poorvakam"=but not according to Vedic Path---I (God) Krishna accept their worship.in the hope that atleast in one of their future births ,they will understand---"Na Anya Ppanthaa Ayanaaya Vidyathay"=(one day they will realise) in their life path they have no other path to reach Heaven except "Naaraayana's" Path.

Depends on the kind of Hinduism that is practised, but there are also some unifying beliefs between the sects.
Of course, if the Hindu teachings were against "attaching oneself to the religion" then why do certain sects accept converts? Obviously, aligning oneself with that way of life is acceptable, even if one respects other religious lifestyles as being just as valid as Hinduism. And aligning oneself with the Hindu religious lifestyle does not equate "pridefulness" in one's religious lifestyle -- it simply means that is the religious lifestyle one has chosen, that the religious lifestyle in question is the one that resonates with one on a spiritual level. It is humanity that inserts pridefulness into such acts as living a spirituality-centered lifestyle and conversion from one faith to another.

Hinduism is a philosophy, not a religion. I understand perfectly. If you fully understand it you will see that there are no gods at all. It states that hwen you die you become god similar to Shinto. It also belives in re-incartnation. which i dont agree with. I was once Hindu. I am now atheist.
