According to the Pew Research Center, Hindu-Americans have the highest retention of any religion in the United States, with a full 80 percent of those raise Hindu still identifying with Hinduism as adults. In comparison, the rate among mainline Protestants is only 45 percent.
This is not surprising due to the nature of Hinduism, whose philosophical and cultural traditions encompass several religious viewpoints including monism, pantheism, panentheism, henotheism, monotheism, polytheism, and atheism.
Most Hindus are either immigrants or the children of immigrants from India, Nepal, Guyana, and Suriname, although there are some from non-desi (South Asian) backgrounds.
