My religion
The latest godless religion Communism, and its subtler elder brother Socialism, could not contain two elder religions Christianity and Islamism. In China, the last refuge of communism, the party is trying very hard, even compromising by giving up space to capitalism. In my state West Bengal in India communists learn to coexist with all other religions to remain in power. Many religions perished or are almost dead. Judaism and Hinduism though much older still somehow manage to exist along with neo- Jainism and Buddhism. Although I am born Hindu, I do not know detail religion, I do not have wish to learn more of it, and I am not believer of existence of god and goddesses to whom mantras are addressed to. Even then, I think, I am a Hindu because Hinduism for me is a culture, a life style, an outlook.
