<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->commies realise that the alternate belief structure has to be destroyed before communism spreads.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Communists always do that. In China it's all about destroying the local religions of Buddhism and Taoism.
In Greece, and Russia as well as other East European countries it's about destroying christianity. Not that I particularly care about this, but orthodox christianity is better than the other kinds from what I know IMO. (Killing orthodox christianity is something the Roman Church prays for everyday - and they do and have done more than just praying toward this end. Imagine if Russia and Greece became Catholic instead. Eewww.)
And in India it's Hinduism. If India were Buddhist or Jain, it would be Buddhism or Jainism that the insipid communists would be trying to put out.
In Turkey, it used to be Islam. But some Turkish communists find Islam works well with communism, just like some high up in the Catholic hierarchy find catholicism and communism work well together, as does liberation theology. And why not: christoislamism does work well with its offspring communism anyway.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->they (communists) probably believe hindus will automatically accept communism once their religion is destroyed.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->That's where they are wrong. We're not desperate. We have many choices.
If I can't be Hindu in India, then personally, I'd follow - in order of choice (many Gods, natural religion, closest to Hinduism, know enough about it to be happy in it):
(1) Shinto
(2) North-American native American beliefs
(3) Taoism
(4) Hellenismos - Greek religion
(5) Jainism, then Buddhism - sorry, I need Gods. Mahayana then Theravada Buddhism
(6) African beliefs (don't know as much about this as about the others, so that's why it comes to 6)
(7) Any other natural religion I can find
(8) Death first
(9) Reconsidering and rejecting, once more, communism or christoislamism
