YEs its a culture of people of Indian Peninsula, their faith and practices. A religions has a prophet or founder like Jesus for Christanity, Mohammad for Islam, Budha for Budhism, Mahavir Jain for Jainism, Confesus for Confesuism... so on. The hindu is all the people of this land, the term is given by outsiders like Arabs to the inhabitants of this great peninsula and abopted by britishers, they protrayed the faith and practices in the column of religion and named hinduism, nothing wrong in using the term hiduism for Vedantic one who follow vedas. So modern name of Vedantics would be Hindusism but it doesnot belong to class religion which can be subcategory under Supra-class Hidus or (Vedantics)
