Though Hinduism and Jainism are not exactly the same - they both share some similarities.

  • Both have the concept of idol worship.
  • Both believe in Salvation.
  • Both strongly believe in Ahimsa (Non-violence)

No, they are different two religions and different two faiths. however, they are similar in the following:

  • Both Islam and Hinduism call for worshiping one God, although God in Islam religion (same as in Christianity and Judaism) is different than God in Hinduism.
  • Both Islam and Hinduism call for good morals, kindness, and tolerance

Perhaps you meant to ask whether Islam and Muslim are the same religion; yes, they are two different names used for the same religion.

No .. Hinduism is a religion ... Indian is a nationality ...

The followers of Hinduism are called Hindus ...

The citizens of India are called Indians

There are many many Indians who are not Hindus .. they are Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Jews, Atheists and Others.

Based on Indian 2001 census, the Indian population consists of 80.5% Hindus, 13.4% Muslim, 2.3% Christian, 1.9% Sikh, 1.8% other, 0.1% unspecified. India has 3rd largest population of Muslims.

India is a secular country. There is a separation of Church and State i.e. there is no state religion.

There are many Hindus and Indians live outside India ....

Judaism is the predecessor or parent of Christianity. Same God. Jews are still waiting for their savior. Christians believe Jesus is our savior.

judaism does not equal jainism (to the person who answered above)

jains and christians are similar in the fact that they both advocate non violence. But otherwise quite distinct when it comes to the more religious aspect, such as which God/gods they serve

NO. A Jain is a follower of Jainism. A Jew or Jewish person is a follower of Judaism. The two are very different religions. Jainism is an ancient religion from India that teaches an ascetic way of life in order to achieve spiritual fulfillment. Judaism is an ancient faith from the Middle East that teaches an involved life in service to the One God and prayer to him and good works as atonement for personal sin.
