I love hinduism.
They have loads of festivals, all year round.
Atheism is kind of a part of the religion.
Loads of great philosophy.
I like sanskrit as a language.
Great stories. I personally think the Mahabharata is better than game of thrones.
The main reasons you don't get many ex-hindu atheists is because:
1) Hinduism has become an cultural identity of the people, and it's hard to break away from that.
2) In it worship of a deity, or even a belief in one is actually optional. So it is hard to pin them down.
3) Most people in a, uh... "developing nation", are too busy earning a living to engage in intellectual philosophy.
