Understand Hinduism - There is no obligation to follow any rituals, but it is followed only by belief. You can be a very good hindu by just living without harming anybody. prayers are not must. visiting the temple is not a must, religious rituals are not a must, but, religion as eternal as it is, and will be, it remains. Its why it is divine. People do not ask you to convert to hinduism. If you are interested by your own, u can come and learn, still, u dont have to convert...........

Christianity is such a beautiful religion which teaches you to love the world, teaches you humanity, and polish your character into gem-like person. Conversion is not much advocated by any normal followers. Only the church may like to spread the religion for a noble cause, that is to spread the teachings only. Non-christians are treated at par, with respect, and with love....

Budhism, the most harmless one, formed by the followers of Gautama budha, is the real religion of peace. must have formed from hinduism. No claims, but it has lot of resemblence in character.

Islam - Which has become the contradictory - it has two factions. one is interpreting their book one way, calling for war against other religions, the other faction says it is a peaceful religion. The second faction which is more common in our parts of the world, is harmless, and do not cause problems, and we can consider them as a part of our secular society. But, for the other faction, their belief in the name of GOD does not justify their actions. Terrorism and bloodshed, is punishable and offensive, whether it is for struggle or for hatred or for holy war.

The rest of the world should unite, irrespective of their religion, irrespective of the geographic or demographic limitations, or the color of skin. The muslim majority, who also thinks that there is a serious ideological problem in that fanatic muslim terrorists, should also join the struggle against them,..... and stop the forces from dividing this world ......
