Christianity and Islam don't allow any discussion, enquiry or scrutiny about nature of Godhood. They are tightly controlled by their respective clergy with strict Fatwa/blasphemy laws to enforce their rigid belief system.
Believe or be eternally Damned.
On the contrary, Hinduism not only allows but promotes self-enquiry. WHO AM I? WHAT IS MY PURPOSE? WHY GOD PUT ME HERE? etc. It also accepts differences between different beliefs. "Though Truth is eternal, universal and immutable, it is perceived differently by the wise" says Rig Veda. 'Jitne Maat, Utne Path' famous saying of RamaKrishna Paramhansa meaning all paths lead to same goal.
Seeking as opposed to Believing is the essence of Hinduism and divided as four fold worthy human pursuits of life. Dharma (following one's duty with Righteousness), Artha (Earning money Righteously), Kama (regulating desire within the confines of Dharma/Artha) and finally Moksha (attaining liberation ie. freedom from all attachments/desires/bondage).
Islam and Christianity will never accept other religions they are narrow minded toxic regressive cuts and done many atrocities throughout history
@yashmehta4087 i already told you, I don't know about Islam. As far as Christianity is concerned, there are many denominations within the church line Roman catholic, eastern orthodox, Syrian orthodox, Protestants, Pentecostal, Jacobite, seventh day Adventist, etc. The most proselytisation is done by the Protestant as of now. The Catholic Church isn't responsible for all the conversions done to Christianity. Even the catholic Church promotes conversions but it has only allowed legal conversions under law. That is, without coercion and fraudulent means. The papal encyclic Mystici Corporis and the Vatican ll council's Dignitas Humanae says more about this. Even I oppose forceful conversions. I hope you understand

1. I don't think so that Christianity is a man made religion as the letters of Paul and other apostles and their voyages are dated back to the first century ad. Some letters are even as early as 75-80ad.
2. I answered that my church helped others because you told that it is just lies and propoganda and nobody helps. I agree that humanity can be followed without including religion. I don't know about Islam.
3. As far as destruction of civilisations are concerned, the church is evolving and had also contributed a lot to development. If you are taking about colonization, then most of the rulers were selfish Freemasons who were very greedy. And if you are taking about religious inquisition, then the church at that time was being ruled by infamous popes who wanted power.
And if the Greek culture is considered, then the Greeks eter already extinct with the advent of Romans and the fall Athens and Sparta. The Nordic people were raiders who tried to conquer England and had already defeated and invaded the native slavic population in present day Norway and Sweden. Many Nordics actually married with English and Saxon women and settled in England and Europe.
Even the Egyptians were invaded by the Romans during 50-40bc and many diseases and plagues had bought down their population. On top of that, they already suffering under the rule of Ptolemys.
I don't completely disagree with you that the church was absolutely perfect without blemish. But just because only some things are bad, doesn't mean we must deem the whole idea and beleif as worthless. The church is trying to learn from its mistakes in the past and developing further.
I don't want to argue with you nor do I want to force you into believing like I do. You are free to beleive whatever you want. I just want to make you understand that you have to respect other people's beleifs. If this is too much, then you may do as you please.

@yashmehta4087 I'm a Catholic myself. And let me remind while some of us are toxic and conservatives, many of us are actually helpful. The church in which i go to has regularly donated to orphanages, old age homes and given free vaccines during covid outbreak. Our church even runs a school and doesn't force anyone to convert or force our ideas on to them. Even in my previous Church where I was living earlier, my mother was the community coordinator and also the worked with the bishop in free vaccine drives including a lot of charity in the vicinity and beyond.
I personally have visited a lot of temples including Tirupati, dharmsthala, Mookambika, etc. A lot of my friends also visit churches with me and are never forced to be converted. I agree that the Catholic Church has its own shortcomings and failures which it is trying overcome and create an atmosphere of coexistence and peace.
If you want to know further about this, then look up the papal encyclic Mystici Corporis and the Vatican ll council's Dignitas Humanae to know more about the Catholic stance on prevent coexistence.

On the contrary, Hinduism not only allows but promotes self-enquiry. WHO AM I? WHAT IS MY PURPOSE? WHY GOD PUT ME HERE? etc. It also accepts differences between different beliefs. "Though Truth is eternal, universal and immutable, it is perceived differently by the wise" says Rig Veda. 'Jitne Maat, Utne Path' famous saying of RamaKrishna Paramhansa meaning all paths lead to same goal.
Seeking as opposed to Believing is the essence of Hinduism and divided as four fold worthy human pursuits of life. Dharma (following one's duty with Righteousness), Artha (Earning money Righteously), Kama (regulating desire within the confines of Dharma/Artha) and finally Moksha (attaining liberation ie. freedom from all attachments/desires/bondage).
@KrishnaTube the Catholic doctrines and teachings have evolved over the years. It is very long and complicated to explain it in one comment. I don't know about other denominations.
But long story short, in Catholic theology, there are concepts about insurmountable ignorance, Vincible ignorance and following one's conscience which tell that even if you don't beleive in Christ, then you can be saved if you live a moral life.
A person gets crucified, dies and comes back to life. Now isnt that a looney tune... The expansionary policy of Christians has been toxic and devilish in every possible way. Christianity does not respect any other religions. They want to become the supreme dictator. Christianity is a huge fraud. Superstitious, selfish, egoistic and devilish.
Orthodox Christianity doesn't proselytize. And the Catholic Church has made many reforms over the years in order to recover from its history.
