You have to ask some Hindu about it. Maybe if you’re less argumentative and more eager to learn they’ll tell.

I used to be. I learned a lot about a lot of religions. I was seriously Catholic for 18 years. They all have a dogma that their believers don’t follow well. They’re often internally inconsistent in their rules. They don’t get us new knowledge or truth or understanding of the universe.
If you objectively look at religion and how it’s used, it seems to be a convenient way to keep sociopaths under control (threat of a punishing father figure), a way to cope with mortality, and a way to funnel money and accomplish social goals. They had interesting uses in the past as forms of local government and keeping people from killing each other. They’re often used by horrible people to enhance their power and abuse others.
But today what’s the point? Get a hobby, join a club, follow the laws, and accept that death is the end.

By the way, I actually put in some effort in that comment to you which you downvoted. To me that felt a bit disrespectful of you.

Sorry if it seems flippant, but I’ve been down this discussion before. Done the research before. And I’ve come to conclusions already taking into account what you sent. A quick Google of “what religions believe other religions are right” would get similar results.
The end result is: all religions make up their rules. It’s just people finding ways to live with other people. There’s nothing in them that isn’t explained easily by reality, or disproved easily by saying “no it isn’t”.
