The soft toys parents hope connect kids to their faith

[Ferrocyanide]

I've wondered whether indians still believe in the hindu gods. I don't know much about their religion but when you have a picture or a statue of a god, one that has an elephant head, another that has many arms, another guy who is blue skinned, it removes the mystery.
Where did those drawings come from?

Someone should do a poll on indians who have moved to western countries.

The imageless jewish god at least has that mystery. The christian heaven is a mystery.
The soul and spirit.... again a mystery. What is it? How does it work? What does it look like?

 You seem to be suggesting that Hindus who move to other countries lose their faith. Why on earth should they, any more than say Christian moving to  country in which Christianity is not the biggest religion? On the face of it, your position seems to be a very bigoted one

Yes, it is bigoted.

I am under the impression that christians view themselves as superior. In the past, it was about racial and religious superiority. The racial part has been reduced a lot in the late 20 th century but I think that the idea of religious superiority is still there.
Catholics, protestants, mormon, jehova’s witnesses invest heavily into spreading their religion.
I am also under the impression that they are not at all interested in learning about other religions. In some cases, they aren’t interested in reading their own bible.

This is my wild guess:
The probability of a christian leaving his own religion and becoming a hindu or atheist is low.
The probability of a hindu leaving his own religion and becoming a christian or atheist is low but it is higher than the case of the christians.

There are a total of 15 million gods in Hinduism, but most people focus on one or a few.  The god with the elephant's head is Ganesha and is one of the most widely worshipped gods in the Hindu pantheism.

“The most common answer to this question is that there are 330 million gods”
“Also, many Hindus do not agree with this number. Some say there is only one God, while some say there are 33 gods only. The reason behind this confusion is that the different scriptures give different numbers.”
“But the majority of times, the number 33 crore is mentioned, so we can say that 330 million gods and goddesses per the Skanda Purana.”
“Per this Purana, there are about 3 crore Hindu gods.”

“Number of deities in Hinduism
Most of the Hindu temples are dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu (including his incarnations Krishna and Rama), Brahma, Shakti (the mother goddess, hence including the forms of Durga and Kali and Parvati, Lakshmi (including her incarnations Sita and Radha etc) [11][12][13]

The Hindu scriptures claimed that there were 33 Koti or 33 Types gods, koti, in Sanskrit, means crore and “types” (33 कोटि = प्रकार).[citation needed]The most common belief is there are 33 crore(330 Million) deities,while, according to some scholars, there are 33 types of deities, they claim ,"Koti" in Sanskrit language it means प्रकार(types) and also कोटि(crore).

As per the context it means to be 33 type (33 koti) including Eight Vasus (deities of material elements) – Dyauṣ "Sky", Pṛthivī "Earth", Vāyu "Wind", Agni "Fire", Nakṣatra "Stars", Varuṇa "Water", Sūrya "Sun", Chandra "Moon" Twelve Ādityas (personified deities) – Vishnu, Aryaman, Indra (Śakra), Tvāṣṭṛ, Varuṇa, Bhaga, Savitṛ, Vivasvat, Aṃśa, Mitra, Pūṣan, Dakṣa.

“The way it's explained is that in order to keep the universe running, Krishna, the supreme being, has put into place individuals that oversee different parts of the material universe. These individuals are powerful beings that have been appointed by Krishna and have been bestowed with the necessary powers and abilities to manage and govern their area of creation. They can be referred to as demigods. For example, there is someone responsible for the sun and his name is Surya. The goddess Saraswati is the overseer of knowledge. The creator of the material universe is known as Brahma. The destruction of the universe is overseen by Shiva and Vishnu serves as the maintainer. There are individuals overseeing the oceans, the wind, and practically every facet of creations. When seen from this perspective, 33 million is not that big a number.“

^^^^^This guy forgot to multiple by 10?
