Hinduism is not a religion in the same sense as Christianity is; it is more like an all encompassing way of life (Robinson, 1995-2010). Because Hinduism has such a vast amount of traditions, freedom of belief and practice are notable factors of Hinduism. Hinduism is generally regarded as the world's oldest organized religion. Hinduism is the world’s third largest religion, after Christianity and Islam. It claims about 950 million followers, about 14 percent of the world’s population.

It consists of "thousands of different religious groups that have evolved in India since 1500 BCE ". (Levinson, 1998). Overall, Hinduism is an umbrella term for many different traditions.…
