Now I have been really wanting to write about this one.So my friends pardon me if you find this `just not secular'
India has a multicultural society made up of religions, caste and creed which may take up lot of space and pages.But maybe a proper mention of the main faiths which drive the society is a must and they stand to be Hindus,Muslims and Christians.
The Hindus know a lot about Jesus and accept the term Almighty or God even in their own religion,they also stand to respect `Allah's wishes many a times.
Coming to Muslims at least in India and Pakistan the awareness seems to be okay if not very high but inwardly they have a fair idea of who is worshipped.
Christians normally would not show much awareness and prefer to be ignorant but many of my friends do know a lot about `Allah'.
So if I do really go by the above, Hindus are the only ones who have knowledge about other religion's worshipping ways and they really don't address any, by calling God English,Muslim or whatever.
On the contrary the English will call Ram a Hindu God or God as Hindu.
But has anyone tried to tell them that GOD is a English term which some Englishman would have formed to address the power who rules us,but we still accepted it and call our RAM -God.
Actually it is` AUM or OM'as we would prefer to call the power we worship. So instead of giving a religion to GOD why can't we address him without it. So who is more secular is anybody's guess.
