Here are some excerpts from this article:

 

" America is not a Christian nation. We are, it is true, a nation founded by

Christians, and according to a 2008 survey, 76 percent of us continue to

identify as Christian (still, that's the lowest percentage in American history).

Of course, we are not a Hindu—or Muslim, or Jewish, or Wiccan—nation, either. A

million-plus Hindus live in the United States, a fraction of the billion who

live on Earth. But recent poll data show that conceptually, at least, we are

slowly becoming more like Hindus and less like traditional Christians in the

ways we think about God, our selves, each other, and eternity.

 

The Rig Veda, the most ancient Hindu scripture, says this: " Truth is One, but

the sages speak of it by many names. " A Hindu believes there are many paths to

God. Jesus is one way, the Qur'an is another, yoga practice is a third. None is

better than any other; all are equal. "

 

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to everyone,
