Well, I don't believe in organized religion either. I sure as hell believe in God, but all religions tend to have flaws in them. However, as far as Hinduism is concerned, I don't think Hinduism promotes misogyny per se. I think it's the mentality of Hindus that's the bigger problem. One can even imply that true Christians are misogynistic, ipso facto. Anybody who follows the "holy books" blindly is by default a fundamentalist. I think that religions change over time. Christianity certainly has. I think they have made enormous stride as far as women's rights are concerned. Quakers for example were the ones who pushed for abolitionism, to give you another example.
