Generally speaking, anybody who claims to have a private line on God should be viewed with profound suspicion. Such a person is either deluded or evil.

Then so much for the gnostic, meditation-based religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, etc.

Generally speaking, anyone who claims to judge the validity of anyone else's personal relationship with God is either deluded or evil.

You are mis-informed about Hindu religion.
It is not agnostic. Hindu’s believe in hundred’s of Gods.

Since Buddhism started in India, I am not so sure they are agnostic either, although I confess to much ignorance about
that religion.

None of these are gnostic

I wouldn't say evil. Deluded, sometimes. Presumptuous, and wrong, usually.

That’s a fairly absolute statement. Care to elaborate?
