    Because "-ism" is meaning "sect" but "Budh" is religion, not sect. The word "sect" is just a sub of religion. However, "Budh" is the great religion. Budh religion has own native and heritage and totally different from other religions.

    So please call Hindu not Hinduism. Because "-ism" is meaning "sect" but "Hindu" is religion, not sect. The word "sect" is just a sub of religion. However, "Hindu" is the great religion. Hindu religion has own native and heritage and totally different from other religions.

    And also please call Jain not Jainism. Because "-ism" is meaning "sect" but "Jain" is religion, not sect. The word "sect" is just a sub of religion. However, "Jain" is also the religion. Jain religion has own native and heritage and different from other religions.

    And the last, please call Sikh not Sikhism. Because "-ism" is meaning "sect" but "Sikh" is religion, not sect. The word "sect" is just a sub of religion. However, "Sikh" is the great religion. Sikh religion has own native and heritage and totally different from other religions.

    Does it make any sense?
    The way people use, is the way it fashioned.

    Conceptionally, name is abstract. but in my meaning, level of respectability should be the equivalent, whatever religions. According to various kinds of sect in one religion, a religion could have diversity of sects, but a sect could not have any sub sect. So, admiration should be performed on every religion.

    One of definitions of -ism given by Longman is a political belief or religion based on a particular principle or the teachings of a particular person.

    This implies that western people know and understand importance of religions (other than Christianity), and respect other religions increasingly.
