A muslim cannot speak against Allah and claim that he is still a Muslim.
A christian cannot speak against Jesus christ and claim that he is still a Christian.
However that is not the case with hindus. Even a non beliver in Ram,Krishna,Shiva can still claim that he is a Hindu. No faith in aa particular deity is required to identify a person that he is Hindu.
Its better that we first understand this very characteristic of Hinduism and not compare it with any other religeon which belive in One GOD,one reliegeous book etc.
Majority of the hindus are confused when they try to compare themselves with followers of other religeons.
Hinduism is a way of Life. Its a path and not a destination.Hindutva is much more broad than we think and talk about. Hinduism has accepted many female Godesses into it like Kali ,Durga which were the deities of Woamn dominated indian society before the Aryan invasion.
After few years we may see Gautam Buddha,Nanak , Jesus Christ, MOhammad Paigamber also accepted by hindu faith.There are no boundaries and limits for hinduism. Its broad and let us keep its spirit as it is.
