Furthermore, his argument that Hinduism mentions that the world is a rotten place is not true. Nowhere in Hinduism, does it say that God has to be placated to get what you want. In fact one could argue that Christianity would fit his argument because when one submits to God and asks for forgiveness ones sins are forgiven and the person can enter heaven. So one could do whatever one wants in the world and then ask for forgiveness. Similarly, for Islam which is has resulted in the extremist views that have bread terrorism. My point is not that one religion is better than the others, but that none of them promote or are a cause of what the author is getting at. In fact, it is the people that interpret religion use them for their own Hobbesian ends. An example of this is this article itself. Hinduism interpreted by the author to fit his definition, but one that could be completely unrecognizable to someone else.
