Akincana is not a member of the Abrahamanic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, Islam).I should have worded that differently. I assumed that his/her religion had pastors and a holy book (which I erronously referred to as the bible, rather than just as a generic holy book). If this religion has neither pastors/priests of any sort, nor a holy book, then I am curious as to what it does have. For example, does it have churches? Hinduism is probably the religion I know the least about (that isn't uber-obscure). My apologies.
I would start with the Wikipedia entry on "Hinduism." (Which is .) While purists, or people who know a lot (of which I'm not one) may object to parts of it, I think it is a good place to start. As a Wikipedia article, it's somewhat longish, and links in to volumes of more in depth material, but can likely be digested over the course of an ordinary lunch break.
