According to many scholars one can be an atheist and still a Hindu .
Most scholars agree that one can be agnostic and still a Hindu or a follower of the Sanathana Dharma .
Some say that belief in Dharma , Karma and reincarnation is more important in defining a hindu than belief in a personal God .
As a result , out of the six systems of Hindu Philosophy , only the last ie Vedanta is really concerned about the relationship between God and us .
Mimamsa is more about ritual and its obligatory performance for your good , family, society , and the world in that order .
Nyaya , Vaiseshika , Samkhya , Yoga etc are largely not concerned with God , but are more to do with the philosophy of life .
For those to whom bhakti and god do not appeal , hinduism still has a lot of useful stuff to offer .
