A little over two billion, or about a third of the World's population today. Not sure about the stats for the U.S.\n\nBut from my vantage point, I'd consider only a small fraction of that number to be 'true' Christians... if you get my drift.\n\nPeace be with you.

I beg your pardon, I just finished counting 27, and that was just in Tamil Nadu, India! On the other hand, all these were in the same religion.\n\nThen there's my tribal friends in Papua New Guinea & the Amazon - some of whom don't even keep a count of their gods.

Is it true? These other people in other religions wonder why people don't believe the way they do because they believe their Religion to be true. When you read out of a Holy Book, Pray with all of your heart for the Almighty Creator to show you the truth. He just might.

Hinduism is very diverse and has many different groups. It is not organized into a central body, thus there are millions of leaders in Hinduism. Every individual Math, Ashram, Temple, etc has its own leaders. Hinduism isn't concerned about 'power' or 'authority'.

- Hindus are Indians. I mean the people who lived in India was called as Hindus/Hindustani's and British by Indians according to geographic location.\n- If you are pointing about the religion which widely practiced in India then Coversion to Hinduism is very rare.\n- Because it refuses the rights to various sections of people.\n- Like Dowries, Suicide with fire on the death of husbands and more and more forced to women and the females were treated as slaves.\n- Hinduism has thousands of castes where upper castes only can offer prayer in temples.\n- Lower casts peoples denied any rights on education and not allowed to get good jobs.\n- The topic on the SIN of Hinduism is greater to explain and its outof contest now.\n- So, the conversion to Hinduism is very very rare case where a interreligion girl who did love marriage with a Hindu boy may be forced to convert to Hinduism.\n- There is history where tens of thousands of hindus are converting to Christianity and Islam.\n-------------------------
