Are Hindus Pagan?

[LevelUp]

Many people in the world consider Hindus to be pagan. As most are aware, 'pagan' has multiple meanings. Wikipedia states:

"Paganism is a broad group of indigenous and historical polytheistic religious traditions—primarily those of cultures known to the classical world. In a wider sense, Paganism has also been understood to include any non-Abrahamic, folk, ethnic religion. Modern ethnologists often avoid referring to non-classical and non-European, traditional and historical faiths as Pagan in favour of less ambiguous labels such as polytheism, shamanism, pantheism, and animism."

While Hinduism shares many similarities with 'pagan' religions, I also see it as sharing many similarities with Monotheistic religions.

Hindus worship many gods but they believe they are all different forms of one god.

Yes.
Hindus also believe that all religions are different roads to same destination(one god). So if you are a devout christian you will still go to heaven. You just have to be a good person.

No they dont. Jews and Muslims believe in the same god. Christians have added AT LEAST two more in Jesus and the Holy Spook. These are different gods with a hierarchy and they communicate with each other. By definition it is polytheism.
