I honestly don't have a lot of knowledge about Hinduism. I mainly am referring to having a spiritual religion inspired by Hinduism where the Hindu gods are replaced by European gods and mythology. I do know that Hinduism is a non dogmatic religion where much of it is up to interpretation including perception of their gods. I think having a non dogmatic religion is essential for a future religion.

I agree with this. Identifying gods, heroes, or archetypes should be left up to believers themselves.

For example, someone coming from a Christian background may identify Jesus as the ultimate Archetype, while someone coming from a pagan background may put Odin in this spot instead.

Allowing believers to define this hierarchy for themselves, as well as to debate it with others, leaves room for the belief system to grow.
