Do you mean Hinduism is more likely the true religion than not? Or do you mean Hinduism is more likely the true religion than any other single religion?

You're wrong because my God can beat up your God. I mean can any of the Hindu gods take on Thor? Can they? No they can't:  |

Any religion which does not regard cats as deities cannot be true.

Well Hinduism may not regard cats as deities but the Hindu goddess Shasti rides a cat, and the way cats may carry their kittens from one home to the next is often compared to a soul's journey as it reincarnates. In terms of sacred animals – all life is sacred in Hinduism. For this reason, it's a sin to kill a cat. Also in Ancient Egypt, Cats were not worshipped as gods themselves, but as vessels that the gods chose to inhabit, and whose likeness gods chose to adopt. So they did not worship the cat itself, they worshiped the God who used the cat as a vessel.

I don't think there is any one true religion. All religions are imagined by humans. While some things written might be true, many things are not. I am okay with people following a religion if they are spiritually satisfied. However, I find it extremely disturbing when people go on to the length of believing in ONE TRUE religion. It is this segment of religious people that cause most problems.

It is this segment of religious people that cause most problems. Could be a mishmash of things. There are some parts of Hinduism that seem like they could have some truth to them. Some other more modern things that have caught my eye. I have a hard time believing we're expected to follow the model from ancient times/middle ages and bow down to a political ruler or be destroyed, though.

I kind of can't answer that as i am totally apathetic to religion or spirituality for as long as i can remember myself.

And the Egyptian respect for a cat that "had a deity on board" is an interesting concept, given that us cat people treat our cats as if they are royalty, or a deity.  But as an agnostic atheist, I see religion as having been started by primitive men who didn't understand where lightning came from. And from a folklore perspective, evolved over the centuries.

I know. I don`t know if this is accurate, but i have heard that in India, Hinduism is not actually viewed as a religion but a way of life. Also in India if i am not mistaken they call it Sanātana Dharma and not Hinduism. Oh i agree that religion was started by primitive men, i frankly don`t think you need religion, just get rid of it. And some people may think that i am against people believing in God, because i think we can get rid of religion, that is not the case, frankly you don`t need religion to have faith, religion is just away to control people.

Hermiticism. It recognises that there is truth in many religions and that the cultural component is what makes them different

Than the one true religion is most likely Hinduism. Now tell me why i am wrong. First, please tell us all why Hinduism would be most likely the one true religion, before we dispute you. Why not, let's say, Confucianism for example?

So is Judaism, Native American/First Nations Spirituality, & a whole lot of other religions also.

I doubt any religion is the "one true religion", but I think that if any are more right than others concerning theories of the afterlife (what happens after you die), those that support reincarnation are more like to be correct about that. My thinking is that it is a theory that is more compatible with modern science than Christian depictions of the afterlife, primarily because reincarnation doesn't involve consciousness without living meat (pretty much by definition).
