What is a 'valid religion'?

Even though I do not agree with Hinduism
and Buddism I must admit they are recognized religions.
So are they 'based in some facts'?

The Spaggetti Monster religion needs to at least pass this
basic test, but it does not.
But it has some basic facts. Spaghetti exists. How many facts do you require?

Read up on Hinduism and Buddism and see if you don't think
they are based in some facts that have led many people to
believe them. Wikipedia defines spaghetti as follows:
"Spaghetti is a long, thin, cylindrical pasta of Italian origin."
A non-existing spaghetti monster had nothing to do with the
fact the spaghetti exists. So the fact that spaghetti exists
does not count on the side of that religion so the score is zero
facts in favor of that religion and one fact in favor of the Italians.
