EDIT: Now it's of the form (Culture includes Metaphysics). I got to change it to (Culture believes Metaphysics that describes the Culture).

"Adherence" to the "Moral Law" and "Way of Life" "Prescribed" by "God" which includes "Worship" of "A Jealous God" who "Governs" the "World" and will bring "Eternal" "World" "Peace" (Judaism / Way of the Yehudis)
"Humans" are created as "Sinners" by "Nature" because their "Original Ancestors" chose to disobey "God" by committing the "Original Sin", which happened according to the "Plan" of "God" (because he is "All Knowing"), for which the "Punishment" is "Death" and "Eternal Torture" in "Hell", and the "Original Sin" is "Inherited" by "All Humans" and the "Only Way" of "Salvation" is "Belief" in the "Sinless Sacrifice" (i.e. not suicide) of a "Sinless Man" (who would thus be the "Christ") who "Took On" the "Punishment" for the "Sins" of "Everyone", by being "Punished" "Unjustly" by "Some" "People" based on their "Man-Made" and "Corrupt" "Moral Law" and "Way of Life" for the supposed crime of "Rebelling" to "Undo" "Man-Made" "Corruptions" to the "Moral Law" and "Way of Life" "Prescribed" by "God" which includes "Worship" of "A Jealous God" who "Governs" the "World" and "Eternal" "Afterlife" in "Heaven" or "Hell" following the "Destruction" of the "World" (Christianity / Faith in Christ)
"Adherence" to the "Moral Law" and "Way of Life" "Prescribed" by "God" which includes "Worship" of "A Jealous God" who "Owns" the "World" and "Eternal" "Afterlife" in "Heaven" or "Hell" following the "Destruction" of the "World" and "Ensuring" the "Establishment" of that "Moral Law" all over the "World", where "People" have "Discarded" it to instead follow their "Man-Made" and "Corrupt" "Moral Law" and "Way of Life" by "Discourse" or "Physical Force" with proper "Strategies" to "Undo" "Man-Made" "Corruptions" to the "Moral Law" and "Way of Life" with an "Exception" to those who do not "Trigger" the "Jealousy" of "God" (i.e. People of The Book) who can live by providing "Protection" "Tax" to the "Righteous" followers as form of "Humiliation" for adhering to their "Man-Made" and "Corrupt" "Moral Law" and "Way of Life" (Mohammedan Islam according to Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l Jama'ah / Submission to God according to Mohammed according to the People of Tradition and the Majority of Muslims)

Dualistic Atheism

There is "No God", and "Reality" simply consists of two "Eternal" things - a "Witness Consciousness" and a "Physical World", where "You" are the "Eternal" and "Formless" "Witness Consciousness" "Trapped" in the "Temporary" "Cyclic Worldly Existence" that takes place in the "Eternal" "Physical World" which Continually Evolves" its "State" through the "Cycle of Life" just for the sake of "Your" "Mental Evolution", due to your "Misunderstanding" of "Reality" that acts as a "Veil" to your complete "Realization" and makes you think that "You" are a part of this "Cyclic Worldly Existence", when in reality "You" are only a "Witness Consciousness" that is "Separate" from the "Physical World", and when you realize that, the "Physical World" will "Cease" to "Evolve" "Further" for "You" and you will be free. (Sankhya Darshana of Vedic Hinduism / Digital Perspective of the Indians following the Sanskrit Books of Knowledge)
"Existence" is a "Random Occurrence" with "No Guarantee" on "Non-Existent Concepts" such as "Justice" (Classical Nihilism)

Note

Trying to Define Indian Beliefs in English

Me Trying to Define Them Purely in English

Hell, I'll tell you this was hard.

I started like:
- X Perspective of the Beliefs of Indians following the Sanskrit Books of Knowledge

But it sucked. Then I wrote it down like:
- Vedic Hinduism (Beliefs of Indians following the Sanskrit Books of Knowledge)
- X Darshana of Vedic Hinduism (X Perspective of Indians following the Sanskrit Books of Knowledge)

Then I tried an alternative:
- Islam (Submission)
- X Aqeedah (X Perspective on How to Follow Submission)
- (X Perspective of People who Follow Submission)
- (X Perspective on Following Submission)

Then I tried:
- (Beliefs of Xs who Follow Y)
- (A Perspective of Following Y according to Xs)
- (A Perspective of Xs Following Y)

- Finally I realized that I should understand that there is an ontological difference between:
- "Hinduism" (A Western Grouping that literally means the "Beliefs of Indians EXCLUDING Muslims, Christians, Jews and Parsis") and
- "Perspectives of Indians" (The True Classification)

To fix this, I realized I had to consider Indian Muslims as Hindus. Then, I had to break down the term into the concept, and translate it accordingly.

e.g. "Discrete Perspective of Indians who follow the Sanskrit Books of Knowledge" and "The Perspective of Seeking Connection with Nature according to Indians who follow the Sanskrit Books of Knowledge"

- Better Ways
- New Form: "The Perspective that the Summary of the Sanskrit Books of Knowledge posits a Difference and Non-Difference"
- Old Form: "The Perspective of following the Summary of Sanskrit Books of Knowledge that posits a Difference and Non-Difference according to Indians who follow the Sanskrit Books of Knowledge"

(It's called "Indians who" rather than those "who" because I'm sticking to a literal translation rather than an ideological one).

How The Westerners Probably Defined

Westerners: "These are "Indian Beliefs""
Westerners: "They say they have different perspectives"
Westerners: "Some have different perspectives based on Vedas (Sanskrit Books of Knowledge)" (Six Broad Perspectives)
Westerners: "Others have free perspectives" (Buddhism, Jainism, etc.)
Westerners: "These are perspectives of the Indians": defines them
Westerners: "And we'll call the people of the land Hindus"
Westerners: "But we'll only use the term to describe people of their native beliefs"
Westerners: "And we'll call the others in the land separately" (Muslims, Christians)
Why? Here's my guess:
"These Indians aside from Muslims and Christians rely on priests to know their culture"
"We can't fool the Muslims and Christians, but we can fool the others and take over this place"
"Let's translate their books and make our compilation more accessible"
"Let's then make them all believe that this compilation is their divine truth"
"Let's prioritize the worst texts they have to sow discord in the community" (Manu Smriti, Vaishnava Dharma Shastra)
"Let's feed on their pride and make the thinking priestly classes feel superior in a divine right"
"Let's make the working classes who don't think too much feel oppressed by the corrupt priestly class"
"Let's make the working class people finally fight the priestly class to gain freedom"
"And then let's take charge of this nation in the name of fixing their divisiveness"

To Classify

I will define a Hindu as an Indian, based on Geography. (Hindu <= Sindhu River)
Hindus have different perspectives.

Some follow Vedas (Sanskrit Books of Knowledge) (from it some follow some sects)
Some follow Other Stuff
Some follow Islam
Some follow Christianity
Some follow Judaism
Some are just crazy (Polytheism, Atheism, Strange Rituals)
