Are we all Hindus now?

Dear Sir. Interesting thoughts. I agree also.
My friends say that I am Lutheran Christian, who really is Hindu.
I believe hinduism is the mother religion. Even Christianity, born out of Mithraism, Sumerian myths and Jewish-Gnostic zelotes, might be an offshoot of hinduism. And there are stories of Jesus visiting India, didn't he tell, that his real home was there?
In the Bhavishya Purana Jesus says:
"The king asked, 'Who are you sir?' 'You should know that I am Isha Putra, the Son of God'. he replied blissfully, and 'am born of a virgin.'
" 'I am the expounder of the religion of the Mlecchas and I strictly adhere to the Absolute Truth.' Hearing this the king enquired, 'What are religious principles according to you opinion?'
"Hearing this questions of Salivahara, Isha putra said, 'O king, when the destruction of the truth occurred, I, Masiha the prophet, came to this country of degraded people where there are no rules and regulations. Finding that fearful irreligious condition of the barbarians spreading from Mleccha-Desha, I have taken to prophethood'." (Bhavishya Purana 19:23-26.)
Mlecchas means the barbarians, the non-Vedic. Jesus was calling the Jews with this name. After Jesus was crucified, some of his disciples escaped to India, for example, the Saint Thomas Christians. There are many stories in eastern scriptures about Jesus.
I have a running argument with some posters here about this. My view is that Hinduism is the oldest organized religion, and most major religions have evolved from Hinduism, directly or indirectly.
I am a little bit familiar with Hindu mythos, but I was not aware of this. Isha Putra of course means Son of God. So Son of God who was born of a virgin? Interesting.
In comparison to Christianity, Islam, and others? I don't think so.
Hinduism has its own glitches:

Obviously, Hinduism isn't the oldest religion, merely the oldest of the modern religions.
It is not Islam itself cutting the arms off, it is poor-mindedpeople doing it like that and also poor-minded people understanding it how they wish.
Westerners have a warped sense of Islam because they have been fed twisted information by our media to justify invading Muslim countries and killing women and children.
I pegged you for a Hindu a long time ago, Vinod. I think I did mention it here. I knew you are from India, and you are a Hindu. In fact I know somebody called Vinod. He told me Vinod means humour.
