As Mahadevan has clearly pointed out, there is a clear cut demarcation between the Hindu religion and spirituality, which is more universal. Both as a moderator and a hubber, I think the title of this thread is not quite right. Indeed, I would even consider it unacceptable. Fire, if you are not intending to talk about Hinduism as a religion, I think the title "Is Hinduism mainly just a way of life?" wholly inappropriate to all those Hubbers who are not Hindus. Request you to change the title.
