> In the bit of South Asia I am familiar with it is far more popular with Buddhists and Hindus than it is with Christians or Muslims Adherants of all religions (except for the recent converts) would continue to use traditional customs and norms, but would use ethnic specific terms (eg. Getting an Aineh was always a thing among Paharis of all major religions - Islam, Hindu, Sikh) > rather than "puritan", I would say I think "Textualist" a la Constitutional Law is a better term. At least in modern South Asian Islam, Sikhism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, reformist movements like Ahl-i Hadith, Akali, Arya Samaj, and the Mahabodhi Society respectively. > That also makes it all the more interesting that it is happening now. Youtube is getting people to abandon tenets of their religion That's the issue. My grandparents peers did aineh, my parents peers did aineh, and my peers might or might not. I argue that a textualist interpretation of religion is closer to abandoning tenets of religion (as religion is the codification of folk beliefs and traditions), and the fact that most of the textualist movements are barely 100 years old, they are the "new" movements deviating from traditional norms.
