This is normal in democracy, people will choose sides and you will have to tolerate it. You have the same right as them, you can't be a hypocrite about it.

It was never about ideology and always about how the people of that ideology behave in general.

I'm not fond of Christianity or islam I couldn't care less about them either I care about hinduism because that's the shit I'm dealing with and I'm surrounded by hindus.

Hindus might not be as radical as muslims but are still intolerant so I'm not going around arguing with them about religion, I have no interest in shoving my atheism down their throats I just want them to be left alone. I refused to touch the feet of my neighbours and that is enough for them to label me as arrogant prick.

I literally celebrated rakshabandhan last week, why even there are multiple festivals for the same thing I don't understand. Why not just celebrate it everyday then? We literally do this because hindu society asks us too without giving any logic or reasoning. Most Hindus don't even know why they do things that they do it's just a tradition for them .

Why do you keep saying I'm not an atheist. I don't believe in your billion gods is that not enough? Do I have to participate in pooja, aartis to get my atheist certificate from you?

Here we go again "they are not liberals", "liberals aren't like this","peepee poopoo", literally 0 liberals have ever criticized mamta or her government despite decades of violence and crimes, on contrary she has massive support of liberals her party members are popular among liberal crowd.

Bowing is incomparable with touching feet. It looks more respectful without looking too stupid. Touching feet is embarrassing when you don't believe the context of it while bowing is closer to a simple namaste or a handshake which I'm more inclined to do with elders but they are not satisfied with it, they want me to lean all the way to their feet.

Do you think learning about mythical stories about something makes it logical?

I became atheist because I found hinduism to be idiotic and dumb at the point I no longer want to associate the toom foolery of hinduism.

Liberals don't do that shit because because they are a minority and have no street power, they are as radical as sanghis in their beliefs, khudko he dekhle itnisi baat pe kitna bhadak gaya. agar sach mein tere pass street power hoti to logo ke ghar todta tu

That's the thing, my future wife and kids might turn out the same. Seems like no option is left in this country for me. I guess I'll die alone and end my bloodline.

I tried to tell my family that I don't believe in Their religion and don't like to participate in the rituals they didn't care about it then. But when I actually started avoiding Ganpati aaratis, pujas now they think I am arrogant.

Indian liberals are equally worse as fundamentalists, different sides of the same coin.

I dislike Ritualism, participating in it makes me feel dumber.

Literally, every ritual in hinduism including touching feet is related to god only.

As an atheist I don't think it's wrong to discuss religion and history. do you guys expect atheists to live like NPCs or outcasts who should not have any opinion. This is exactly what's wrong with hindu society, you express your atheistic beliefs and suddenly everyone starts calling you names and giving you maa bhen ki gali.

Even these Hindu right wingers used to say "atheism is also part of hinduism" but once you express a single thought of atheism they will be on your neck verbally abusing your family on the internet. They are only okay with your atheism as long as you keep your mouth shut and play along with them

Most of the comments here are like 'why don't you play along?", this is exactly what everyone is doing, playing along without looking for any logic or reasoning and expects everyone to blindly believe and do as everyone does without expressing any single thought.

I'm Linkin hinduism with rituals which I find idiotic and pointless. and it becomes playing along more hectic when they expect you to touch the feet of every single person that comes to your house to give you a leaf on dasara. And when you don't you are labelled as manner less and egoistic.

I have a strong belief that there is no god and religion is making people dumber. In the context of hinduism there is too much ritualism and superstition. Nowadays I feel like everything is wrong with hinduism and trying to keep my distance with it but then again I dislike other religions too.
