Hinduism

hinduism
Noun

Hinduism is treated as a proper noun and is always capitalized. It refers to a complex synthesis of various Indian traditions rather than a single monolithic faith, which often leads to its description as a family of religions.

As a name for a specific religious system, it is an uncountable noun. It does not have a plural form because it represents a singular, overarching cultural and spiritual tradition.
