Yes, as you can see from that paragraph, there is no divine revelation. The sikh gurus propagated their understanding of god. Those who agree with them are sikhs, thats all.
This principle is common to all subcontinental religions.
But still, it could be offensive to some who follow them to be thought to simply be believeing in a "a derivative". From a logical standpoint then, wouldn't the original be the best?
Because Christians don't accept anything of what the muslims say and vice versa.
Not quite true, a lot of the tenets are the same (when you start getting down to universal truths, there is not much room for deviation). There are obviously theological differences, but are you suggesting that Hindu's believe everything Muslims and Christians say, or that Skhs believe everything Hindus say?
Then how do you explain the animosity between Catholics and Protestants, Shiites and Sunnis?
That animosity is not ordained in religion, but due to cultural, social and political events that have exploited those "differences". It is incorrect to assume that it is the religion that commands animosity.
