Hinduism metaphysically is the opposite of monotheism, but much of its ethics, with the three stages of life (student, householder, elderhood) and personal family orientation, is very compatible with the traditional American lifestyle. The types of Indians who are willing to move from there to America are similar to all those in previous generations who came to America as a land of opportunity, and they have generally made very good use of that opportunity. It is amazing to me that they are not all Republicans, but identity politics have kept them from understanding who their true friends in American politics are.

Hindu faith has mixed and sometimes incongruous elements in it. As a traditionalist Christian, I found one of the oddest things claimed by Hindu faith was that literally anything can be worshiped. This is wrong; however it points to a truth that Christians can miss — that God Himself can operate and express Himself through the humblest of entities in His creation. Glorify Him for it, by all means, and do not ever believe spirits who lie to you that the meaning that the entities deserve is anything but what God wills them to have. It certainly is not what man, in fallen sin, wills them to have. But it still can be quite a lot.
