I know I’ve expressed dislike for the guy in the past, but seriously? I thought for even something like this, he would at least have a good take on it.

    Hinduism relies heavily on a caste system. It is a belief system that reinforces fascist ideology. Why be a hindu when you can be a buddhist?

      that's an incredibly reductive definition of a religion so diverse it isn't really even one religion

        You want me to write a 10 page essay elaborating on it or something? You don't even know one of the most fundamental differences between Hinduism and Buddhism; and why it makes one more fascistic over the other.

        Of course there's different sects of Hinduism. It's literally the oldest living religion. And there's ALOT of baggage that comes with that, namely the caste system which continues to negatively impact the Indian populace.
