If God was not with orthodoxy, it would not have survived.

Nah.

God has His plans, but your argument is falsifiable by applying it to many world religions that have been here longer.

There are none except Jainism and Judaism that have been longer

Hinduism has utterly changed from the Vedic religion when it was focused on teh Indo-European Devas such as Indra, Varuna and Agni, through to the post -Buddhist period in the 4th century with the rise of cultic heroes such as in the Mahabharata and Ramayana and through to the post interaction with Islam and Christianity where you have the Hindu "trinity" of Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva (Vishnu is mentioned thrice in the Vedas and Shiva none)

you want to talk of Buddhism? Buddhism has also changed from the Hinayana/Theravada buddhism which has it's last vestiges in Sri Lanka, through to Mahayana Buddhism that pervades the rest of the world. The Mahayana has the concept of Deities whereas true buddhism was athiestic (like Jainism). Even Theravada buddhism is no longer a-theistic.
