The same question could be asked about Christianity in my opinion.How much of Hinduism do you think is philosophy that has come from the minds of people?
The same question could be asked about Buddhism.

Sounds like a debate for another pair of threadsImo the nature of Christianity as a historical religion based on events in history and on prophecies about those events is certainly something that is an argument against it being a philosophy from the minds of humans.
Although the history of Hindu traditions is much older than that of Judaism and Christianity and it has a very extensive mythology, one should not forget that they also have their historical teachers who lived in real time. Due to all the added mythology this realisation has become somewhat blurred.The answer is for each individual and has to be yes if people do not believe the gospel.

Is ISKCON the only Hindu organisation that allows male monks to become members of the Brahmin caste (not born into that caste) and wear the Brahmin thread around their chest?

Looked it up as I can't speak from first-hand experience. ISKCON members believe you have to be a "brahmin" for deity worship and cooking. ISKCON allows women to perform deity worship in the temple, so both men and women are strongly encouraged to take "second initiation" and become "brahmins" (although it's not "compulsory"). Never seen an ISKCON woman wearing a brahmin thread, though.
