Hinduism isn't an organised religion. Lots of diversity of thought across the subcontinent.
It still has led India into an authoritarian conservative hole.
I think any sort if non-rational thought, mass adopted, becomes a problem. It being organised or not doesn't matter.
Not hinduisms fault but the cast system
Hinduism IS caste/varna system. It's present right from rigveda. You might have encountered only the "mystic" and "spiritual", sanitised version of Hinduism in the west, but here it's still the biggest detrimental influence on people's lives in contemporary times. I would even say that Hinduism is the first major example systemic racism. KKK could only dream of reaching the depths Hinduism once reached.
Any mass belief based on unscientific guesswork becomes harmful eventually. It's true for all major religions today.
All religions need to go. They should have no place in future. I cannot see a single exception to this.
