Comparative Religions 101 Guidelines
Welcome to Comp Religions, this is where the sights and sounds of the many world religions come together in a big World's Fair type atmosphere, without those delicious funnel cakes.
World Religions is a theist only type place, but that does not exclude certain religionists who practice non-theistic faiths ala Buddhism. If you are not sure, ask a moderator.
This is not a place where we argue the existence / non-existence of God.
And as usual, the forum rules apply.

Considering most Thanksgiving get-togethers, I'd be more afraid it would turn to politics.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

"You don't have to believe in the Hindu religion in order to celebrate it."
"It's just celebrating cultural diversity."
My response to that is this: Celebrating Diwali is a celebration of Hinduism. It would not make sense to celebrate a religion that you don't agree with.
If someone says that it is just a meal with no worship service, I would say that it is still a celebration of Hinduism.
What do you think?
