Oh my god,U gave completely forgotten important options:Monism and panentheism,this is how hinduism can be defined approximately..They come under Advaita Vedanta.Hinduism can be monistic thiesm.It can be monotheism under panentheistic sense.Buddhism is monistic non-theism probably.
Well arguably, pantheism is monotheism
Not sure what you mean by humanism.Monism ,there is one divine essence,all other substances are manifestation of it (approx).and monism is kind of like humanism and monotheism. At least that's my opinion but I could be wrong.
Hi XkatzI just wanted to know what most Hindu's believe in, in terms of their god(s). So what do you believe?
What is your opinion?
What do you believe

I find your explanation interesting, because Orthodox Christianity is panentheistic but that's not how an Orthodox Christian would describe it. An Orthodox Christian would never say that God is Created or that everything is part of God; God exists independently of the Creation and is whole and complete in himself. Orthodoxy does teach, though, that everything exists in God and through God, and the uncreated Divine Energies permeate and sustain all existence.I clicked 'other' because I consider myself Panentheistic and although it is a type of monotheism it is very specific. So yeh, I'm panentheistic and as a very simple explanation I generally say that it means I believe that God is both the Creator and the Created. Everything is a part of parcel of the Supreme but the Supreme is also something more.

Or is that really so different from what you're saying?
