Hindu vs Christain

Edit Reason: creature vs creator
)
There is an estimated 2.4b Christians. This is a fairly accurate number given the establish institutional structure of the faith. There is an estimated 1.2b Hindus. This is a rough number given the difficulties in quantifying India's population. There are also a predicted 1.2b agnostics/non-believers/atheists. And about 2b Muslims.
Why, if your one or the other, don't you believe in one or the other?
For example. Why isn't Brahma (the creator) not the same as Jesus or Yayweh? What is Vishnu? Durga, Shiva and the rest? Why aren't these other entities explained? Or, do they not exist? Just like Zeus and Oden?

It's all gibberish. I'm just asking why one bit doesn't believe the other bit.

Some people do, either as is or in a modified form. A good number of those billions counted don't believe in any of them, too, they're just counted as-such by fun demographic pranks.

Jesus in the bible claimed that he is the only way to get in to Heaven, where God lives. Meaning, christians have good bases to dislike other religions. Hindus, from what I have heard don't give a f about christianity. People are often egostical, they praise their shit and hate on others people shit. For example, "USA is a christian country".

Good example. The abrahamic god does appear to demand an exclusive relationship - but it's been as true over history as it is today that abrahamics themselves are not so good at exclusivity. Alot of self professed christians would be fine with the idea that, somehow - other peoples god stories weren't wrong in general, just wrong on detail. That, as bahai nutters contend as an article of their faith, all religions are ultimately their religion.

What's a bahai nutter?
The Baháʼí Faith has three central figures: the Báb (1819–1850), considered a herald who taught his followers that God would soon send a prophet similar to Jesus or Muhammad and who was executed by Iranian authorities in 1850; Baháʼu'lláh (1817–1892), who claimed to be that prophet in 1863 and faced exile and imprisonment for most of his life; and his son, ʻAbdu'l-Bahá (1844–1921), who was released from confinement in 1908 and made teaching trips to Europe and the United States. After ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's death in 1921, the leadership of the religion fell to his grandson Shoghi Effendi (1897–1957). Baháʼís annually elect local, regional, and national Spiritual Assemblies that govern the religion's affairs, and every five years an election is held for the Universal House of Justice, the nine-member supreme governing institution of the worldwide Baháʼí community that is located in Haifa, Israel, near the Shrine of the Báb.
According to Baháʼí teachings, religion is revealed in an orderly and progressive way by a single God through Manifestations of God, who are the founders of major world religions throughout history; Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad are noted as the most recent of these, before the Báb and Baháʼu'lláh. Baháʼís regard the world's major religions as fundamentally unified in purpose, though diverging in social practices and interpretations. The Baháʼí Faith stresses the unity of people which is its core teaching. The outward differences in the religions, the Baháʼí writings state, are due to the exigencies of the time and place the religion was revealed. The teaching, however, does not equate unity with uniformity, but instead the Baháʼí writings advocate for the principle of unity in diversity where the variety in the human race is valued.[14][15][16] Baháʼís have their own sacred scripture, interpretations, laws and practices that, for Baháʼís, supersede those of other faiths.[17][18]
