Religion and the Three C's

Oriental philosophy is simply not philosophy in that sense. Hinduism, Buddhism and so on are sometimes also called religions. I question the application of that word to them because again I like to use the word religion rather strictly. For religion if Christianity is a religion or Judaism is a religion if Islam is a religion they are based on the idea of man's obedient response to a divine revelation. We will call them the three C's the creed, the code and the cult.
