Well as lots of question regarding Islam has been asked and discussed, I would like to ask one question regarding hinduism... How many hindus now a days consider hinduism as a religion or they are following it just as part of their old culture and tradition????
I consider hinduism as culture and tradition rather than religion. I am an atheist but realised that I liked the familiarity of things related to Hinduism - for example, I love visiting hindu temples but not pray - look at all the sculptures and I always feel proud of it.
And going back to your previous question "garding nationality question what you will say for example if you migrate to USA and got the citizenship... then will you become American first or Indian first???"
And these two questions are connected as far as I am concerned. I took up the US citizenship a month ago and I pledged oath that I will a U.S citizen and I intend to maintain my loyalty to U.S. Now the one connection I can have with my motherland without having to compromise my conscience is falling back on hinduism as a culture and tradition and that helps me identify with Indians here.
