The fact is Christianity has a history of "digesting " or swallowing the native culture of the region to dominate the place.Whether it is Cybele,Allis of Greece,ISIS, Horus of Egypt,Tamm of Babylonia, they digested them all into story of Mary:Jesus and now they are now trying the same tactics against Hindus and Hinduism in India, by shamelessly copying Hindu customs,symbols, rituals, songs etc.As already written in most of the replies, I will mention few examples for your ready reference.
1. Temple architecture and structures being copied to churches such as dwajasthambams.
2.Using oil lamps in churches with crosses above.
3.Suryanamaskarams renamed as Yesu namaskarams with Bible verses
4.Propagating Patanjali Yoga as Christian Yoga .
5.Modifying Bharathanatyams as Christian Bharat hanatyams
6. Trying to influence un educated Hindus with false stories.
7. Making crazy Chakrams in the model of Sri Chakrams
8.In Kerala, Manorama Publications released a book titled Kristhu Bagavat Gita
9.Depiction of crucified Jesus Christ similar to SreeKrishna with Gopikas in Rural Theological institute Madurai.
10. Mary with Ganesa-, wants to portray Mary as Devi or Shakthi
11 Creating sahasrnamam for Jesus.
12. Adopting saffron dress and imitating Hindu Saints and distributing Christian Panjangam based on vedic astrology.
13. Vidyarambum or initiation into schools are done by Christian priests .
We respect all religions and respect your freedom to believe whatever you want. But don't try to rob our culture and system for your attempt for searching new markets to expand and convert Hindus to your fold. . Singing by remodelling Mummurthigal krithis are not acceptable to many Hindus.The attempts are to be nipped in case of these singers who learned Carnatic Sangeetham in a traditional way . They should not misuse it for few chips and for publicity.
Every culture borrows ideas from other cultures.
We eat Chilli peppers, they were originally grown in South America.
Our Bhakti (not Bhakti Marg), praising the Lord, Lord as, king all may have been borrowed.
I do not know if, it is good or bad.
Gunpowder was invented by Chinese.
