I find it funny that Western society and business/military can hold Sun Tzu in such reverence, but I didn't hear about Lao Tzu until I was in my thirties and actively seeking at Eastern philosophies to learn about different ways of thinking and ideologies.
Like I said above, I can't blame Christianity for everything wrong with Western society, but I feel like it's the foundation that so much of the bullshit is built upon. It's kind of mind blowing to me that we can be this "technologically advanced" and still have a majority of the world personifying a god construct and worshiping it.
On a side note, Hinduism wasn't for me either, I'd say I probably resonate most closely with Buddhism as I tend to view it as an anti-religion, but like all things, there's wisdom hidden throughout all religions if we're willing to accept it. I think things like the Hindi Caste system or the governmental aspects of Christianity are mainly just tools for governing large masses of people and keeping them in fear.
