Explanation:

Question 3

Ethnic religions are often non - proselytizing, meaning they do not actively seek to convert others. Since Hindus have not traditionally attempted to convert other cultures, some scholars have characterized Hinduism as an ethnic religion. Racially - embedded faith is not a common categorization for Hinduism in this context. Socially - constructed faith is a more general concept and not specific to the non - proselytizing nature. Missionary religions actively seek converts, which Hinduism does not do traditionally.

Hinduism is the third - largest religion in the world in terms of the number of adherents. It is not 0.1% of the world population, nor is it the fifth - largest, and it does not comprise 6% of the world population.

Answer:

as an 'ethnic' religion
