I say I am a 'Hindu' because that's where my beliefs and teachings closest align with, even though I don't follow Sanatana Dharma to the letter. For one, I don't believe in karma or reincarnation, but I do believe in a 'Hindu God' (even though I am fully aware all 'Gods' are one), and I also believe in a lot of the Hindu sacred texts and other teachings...however, a lot of my 'material' also comes from Zen Buddhism, Animism, Shamanism and Wicca...so yeah, trying to 'pigeonhole' me is a difficult one, but seeing as how that's how society operates, it's much easier just to say 'I am Hindu' and leave whatever association up to everybody else...it's just easier that way.
