Made in God’s image. Yuk. Not me thanks.

Hinduism is a wide definition.  

That's one way of looking at it.

As, indeed, Hinduism is a religion that is all-encompassing and includes basically all beliefs.

But what I, in particular, meant is the following: Hinduism is the oldest religion when we use 'religion' in a narrower sense rather than when we use 'religion' in a wider sense that can include animism. Animism is the oldest religion when we use 'religion' in a wider sense rather than when we use 'religion' in a narrower sense to exclude animism.

You seem to have a way with changing what people have said. No offense given and none, presumably, taken.

You have your reasons for whatever you are doing whether I'm seeing you accurately or not.
