Ha ha ha...

In a Way I can agree with you..
Thing is "Hinduism" is a very broad term..
When you talk about freedom ... yes..
There are people who believe there is only one God... others say many...
There are many who say god has no shape... others personify him/her (GOD is not gender biased either)

Many believe in idol Worship others say it is Supreme power not piece of Stone...

Some say strictly Vegetarians... others eat saying its necessary...

And these all people call themselves Hindus...
Because they all hold a common Back bone of the Scriptures.. Vedas and upanishads...

As I told you... different interpretation leads too Different school of Philosophies.... And they all are true in a way....
It is what the realizer realized while his search for God......

And the diverse Worship too had a purpose and necessity...

If I could Take the discussion on scientific Base...
As we know understanding of different type of people is different....

Those who love to dance.. Say God is realized when you Dance...

The Singers say God is realized when you sing...

There is class of people who feel connected to God when they Sing devotional Song... They Are Idol Worshipers.

There are people who like to See God as super human... and worship him.. they too are correct...

There are few who love god us for the sake of loving.... they too are correct...as a true lover never asks anything in return....

And this can go on and on and on.....

Finally it is like.... In Hinduism...

If you want to be religious.. there is custom-made solution tailored for you......

Choose the one which suits you...
See by which you feel connected to god.. and stick to it..
You ll stick to it... because you like it... you chose it...

Having an Idea to love God and to be with God is Sufficient.... rest is taken care by her/him

Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.
