On this, I can only remind the same good advise of yours:

Just curious, those who are "Jains" are not "Hindus" in your definition of the term, yes?

This conception of hinduism came from the evolution theory.As everything evolve from simple to complex so was the religion.
First was unga bunga(the misterios invisible presence or force that souround our existence).
Then was the religion of spirits(animism,folk religion).
Then came the religion of gods(olimpian gods,vedic samhitan gods).
In the last came the religion of philosophy and salvation(like bhakti,buddhism,advaita,dvaita,monotheism).
This scheme was used to make a chronological map of hinduism;first whit a primitive hinduism and later whit the more intelectual version.
