India's religion

Question

How has India stayed such a religious country since the beginning of time. it's not like the United States that all we're more than half the people don't even believe in a God or a creator. I don't understand how India keeps it together like that and stays respectful towards their gods. What would it take to get America to be like India.

Since I'm an American is it okay for me to pray to your gods?

Answer 1

Concept of Religion in India and the rest of the world is different. In most of the Indian religion or originated from India the God is a matter of personal faith, not the society or system faith so you see people even create their own god based on their faith and society does not have any issue with it.

One more thing about religion in India is it's treated as a way of Life rather than driven by a divine book (though most of the Indian religion has divine books too) which allows people to remain respectful towards God even when someone does not believe in God.

Will love to see the others comment...

Thank you for your time and answering my question. I appreciate it. It looks like the United States isn't going to have faith like your country ever

Does not matter, you stick to your faith and respect others faiths too.
Simple and effective formula...:)
