I picked being "atheists", but I'm just one, not plural.
I'm a weak atheist, ie, I disbelieve in gods, but can't
prove they don't exist. But I've a very very strong
speculation that none exist.

Revealed as listed in RF. meaning, whatever is not Non-revealed, including Hinduism and Buddhism.
But Hinduism isn't revealed, according to other definitions on this thread. Perhaps that is what you want to debate? I'll try that since you have yet to indicate what the debate is about.

According to the other definition, revealed religions are those with prophets. Since Hinduism doesn't have prophets, it is therefore not a revealed religion. I voted non-revealed. It's a direct communion with Siva, with no intermediary.

Nothing my eye, Something for sure
I've picked non revealed religion since I'm fully persuaded that morality has objective truth without the need for any God to exist. I also believe in an eternal, endless and purely intelligent foundational existence of the which all life is apart of. I believe all life on Earth has primitive souls. I believe that the foundational existence of pure non living intelligence autonomously works endless possibilities and is not bound by our time and space. I believe that life is eternally existent and new life is born into that condition. I believe that this physical reality is very real yet illusory.
I believe the multiverse is but one finite possibility born of a platonic purely intelligent foundation. I believe we live in an endless evolution and this existence is but a very limited shell of it. Eternal life forms probably exist. There is no perfect existence of any kind.

My religion is non revealed because I've never met anyone else who believes in such things.

My logic is that intellect cannot come from non intelligent means. Life has substance!

Well, Hinduism is a wide spectrum of beliefs.
Your version of Hinduism is a Non-revealed Religion. But, in my understanding, for example, there are Hindus who believe Bhagava Gita is a Book from Krishna, a Manifestation of God.

That's a Bahai belief, not a Hindu belief. If you want to know about Hindus, you should ask Hindus. Now, for the 5th time, exactly what is it you want to debate? (I am presuming you will, for the 5th time, avoid my question.)

I googled 'Which religions are revealed just now, and this is what I got.

What are the revealed religions?

In the three great religions of the West—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—revelation is the basic category of religious knowledge. Human beings know God and his will because God has freely revealed himself—his qualities, purpose, or instructions.

Edited: No mention of Hinduism.

Well, what I meant by "Revealed Religion", are those people who believe their Religion originated from a divine source, and they worship a God or gods, And, they consider their Religion "Holy", meaning, there is a sense of Holiness in their Faith.
From what you know, are some Hindus fall into this category?

So you're using the Baha'i definition of 'revealed religion'?

I believe that the teachings of Jesus can lead to an excellent way of life.
However Christianity nor any other religion can give any such guarantees.
However I doubt very much that there is a God as represented by any religion.
