because all gods are actually differnt carnations of one major god. Im writing a paper for my politics of India class... Word for word from my paper

"Hindus believe in one omni-present, all powerful god who has many different carnations, all of which have their own name. In order to demonstrate this think of a man. If that man lives in a house with his son, his wife, and his elderly parent, the man is father, a husband, and son. Once that man leaves the house and goes to work, he may be an employee, a supervisor, and a subordinate. That man, is always the same encompassing man, yet when he needs to take a different role he does."

its kind of like a cross between monotheism and polytheism as best as i understand it.

Monism is the belief and unity of God and creation and is not to be confused with "monotheism" belief in many Gods

They believe that Braham and Atman are one on the same. This reflects the belief that all things in the universe are of the same essence as God.

What is the main religion of Hinduism?

Hinduism is not considered a religion to Hindus as much as it is a life style. Hinduism has different types of teachings everywhere.

They are all basically the same. All the gods are based on the the Supreme Being as well.
