I agree that the touts - brahmins in temple (i dont blame brahmins from the common walk of life) created caste boundaries.
Let us make hinduism a modern religion.
True sanatan dharm (as you know that dharma means duties and not religion) does not advocate casteism. It only talks about the right way of living life, and also promotes creative though process - I do not want to get into this as all other faiths on the shell offer same beliefs.
Do not go by my words, read the books (not the ones which say pay bribes in gold to the touts of gods even if you cant afford a square meal).
If you think that they actually do not go indepth in the reason of our existance, then i'll myself give you a matchstick and kerosene to burn it.
It tell you that while you are on the earth, life your life rightfully, peacefully and while respecting other thought processes.
It says that you can achieve moksha by yog - karm yog - which stands for rightfully going about your ambition or the yog in which you leave materliasm in search of god and to promote the cause of hinduism (which surprisingly is not about any rituals)
Reach the scripts - i dont belong to any religious organisations so i cannot help you in procuring it, but wherever you can find it, and whenever you read it, you will know why your forefathers followed this religion for many milleniums
