Hatred for other ideology/ ideological deviation is absolutely irrelevant in a discussion about whether two religions can be considered separate or just one..hatred or otherwise is relevant if we were comparing tolerance or concepts of abrahamic religions vs dharmic religions.
Both have many commonalities. Infact Buddhism has its own interpretation of beliefs in Vedas
Do you know Hinduism have nastic(atheist) as well as monotheistic(Arya Samaj) schools as well.
Well depends how you judge it. There are many different schools of thought in Hinduism, which do not get identified as a separate religion but are nonetheless part of Hinduism. The spectrum of Hinduism is too broad and does not force people to adhere to a list of principles. It is one of those problems with languages, where you do not know if you want to call it a different language or dialect.
Buddhism too has many schools of thoughts, Mahayana Buddhism which came later takes Nirvana as somewhat more earthly concept making Nirvana < Moksha i.e. Nirvana became a mere detachment from greed and hate, while Moksha in Vedic Dharma means complete escape from the cycle of rebirth.
Also, Buddha did not answer question about God or unity with God because he thought such questions are an impediment in the attainment of Nirvana by his pupils.
Well Hinduism might be a way of life, but its very much an organized religion just like every other religion. Sadly, a way of life isn't powerful enough to be wide spread.Hinduism itself is not a Religion how can Buddha become a Hindu.
Hinduism is Way of life/Culture of Indian subcontinent.So if you take that into consideration then Paki+BD+Indian muzzies also Hindus!.If you say to them 'they are Hindus' they start Bombing everything.
Anyway Buddha never claimed he is God/Prophet/God's son.He simply said he is a monk and follow your OWN WAY/middle path.
The problem is ABRAHAMIC 'ONE GOD',Fk that bloody One God.There is no fk God.Period.
Why that fk 'One God' is dangerous.If you believe there is fk One God then he is only TRUE and other God's are fake and they Kafir/Sinner.So Chrislamists both are dangerous one is smart and other is hard terrorist because of that One God.
Well God isn't fake, the fact that billions in this world believe in a God or Gods, alone is enough to make God very much real. Whether God exists for real remains to be seen. God's existence among people and their actions alone prove God exists among humans. Humans have always wanted to believe in a higher power and the object or subject of that belief has varied from geographical location to location. Try telling the people in your local crowded temple that the God they believe is fake they'll show you how real God isI said already God is fake, 1 or 3 or million gods all are fake.
Now come to the point. How can anyone believes Virgin birth and 6day evolution.
Xianity was LONG dead, West imposes WESTERN CULTURE on the name of xianity.
Islam imposes Middle-eastern Desert culture on the name of Islam.
Yes Hindu/Buddhism(let us assume religions) imposes EASTERN CULTURE on the name of Hindu/Buddhism.
The war was/is/will be goes on.
I didn't say speak to Hindu priest, how about you try yelling out in crowded temple that their God is fake, a phony, you'll find out soon enough how real God isu think i never spoken with mulla/father/priest.... Mulla got angry, church father disturbed and Hindu priest smiled.
Again who cares about what you believe or not.For me All gods are fake.
At least Cows&Elephant exist unlike angels.BTW stop ur BS believe what u wanna believe virgins,rebirth on 3rd day and so on.
Gods don't take insults lightly. You'd better watch out , you see God whether there are 1 or 3 million if they really exist are better to have on your side. Your dumbass can't tell for certainty that god doesn't exist, the presence of God for the devout is a feeling at best.
Prayer time !! go to your prayers !I said already God is fake, 1 or 3 or million gods all are fake.
Now come to the point. How can anyone believes Virgin birth and 6day evolution.
Xianity was LONG dead, West imposes WESTERN CULTURE on the name of xianity.
Islam imposes Middle-eastern Desert culture on the name of Islam.
Yes Hindu/Buddhism(let us assume religions) imposes EASTERN CULTURE on the name of Hindu/Buddhism.
The war was/is/will be goes on.
I think the basic difference between Buddhism and Hinduism can be summarised as - ultimate nothing (Buddhism) vs ultimate truth(Hinduism)
yes. 
.The Nasadiya Sukta of Rig Veda is perhaps the earliest known expression of agnosticism :-
The H'ble SC has also taken Hinduism as a way of life, and has dealt upon the origins of it, the SC came to realize that unlike Abrahmic religions Hinduism has no single source of origin making it difficult to collectively call it an organized religion, Hinduism is a loose unification of religio-philosophical fragments, fragmented yet unified. "Religion" (Panth) is a western term and Hinduism does not satisfy the traditional features of any religion or creed, and that "it may broadly be described as a way of life and nothing more".
Ghalib's ghazal "Na tha kuchh to khuda tha, kuchh na hota to khuda hota..." seems a Islamized copy of this ! :biggrin2:
Well similar things can be said about Christianity, Judaism and Islam. All these religions evolved out of ancients tales, collections of writings and scripts. Religion per definition is
- A hindu does not have to believe in god to be a hindu. Most proud Hindus these days are atheists and do not believe in God.
There is no organized head/institute which gives out sermons in Hinduism. There are no fixed ceremonies and rules and that is why you seem them change every 50-100km in India. The only common belief that exists is re-birth. I cannot think of other common belief. Comparatively, there are basic tenets in Islam like Mohammed as last prophet and only god allah. If you do not believe that then you are not Muslim.
This point and the one above are the same.
The point is not whether Hindus believe in a God or not, the point is Hinduism is a religion very much like the others. If it weren't you wouldn't have globally recognized Hindu festivals of Diwali, Dusshera, Ganesh Chaturthi etc. Just because the belief systems of Hinduism are varied doesn't make it any less of a religion. There doesn't have to be one organized head, Christianity has many (Catholics, Church of England, Orthodox.. the list goes on they may or may not have unity between each other), so does Islam (Sunni, Shia etc...). Hinduism might have started as a way of life just like any other religion but man's constant need for structure, context, rituals etc. have made it into the World's 3rd largest religion, that is actually a good thing. No way of life can spread by itself.
