Global Religious landscape- Pew Forum

[neehar]

The survey said Hinduism is not the third majority one

unaffiliated is not a religion i guess.. may be a group of cults...

Population / conversions.


How Hinduism will accomodate that?

Hinduism is more of a way of life than a religion.Those who follow dharmic way of life is a Hindu.In short Hinduism is a conglomeration of distinct intellectual or philosophical points of view, rather than a rigid common set of beliefs.You don't even have to believe in God to be a Hindu.So concept of conversion is practically non existent in Hinduism.There is no formal process for converting to Hinduism.

I had heard that commentry many times viz a viz way of life but on a stricter and basic rule you can NOT convert to Hinduism keeping in mind its other aspects.

hence my question remains how the survey can say Hinduism will grow?

HOW? by population explosion?

Expanding religion by converting ppl is not a priority for evil Yindoos.

For them, its all about how to live a better life yourself and make a better society.

They dont care if their nos. go down, to be honest, they never cared in the last 5000 years, why should they care now ?

All religion now a days grows by population explosion.Conversion hasn't been the main source of growth of any religion in the past century at least.
