The Sikhs are a militant fundamentalist religion that practices monotheism and rejects idolatry. Whether or not the god they worship is identical to HaShem (Yitbarakh Shemo) I am not competent to say.

There's one other things about the Sikhs that appeals to me as a "redneck." We are often accused of "worshiping a book." Well, the Sikhs really do worship a book. Sounds downright "Baptist."

that's an interesting point. By tradition and by their origins they are not an Abrahamic religion. They arise from Hindu monotheistic traditions merged with Abrahamic traditions. They worship one God and have one book. They don't worship the Guru Granth Sahib, but it takes the place of a Guru for them (they got this afgter Guru Gobind Singh was slaughtered by Moslems)

This is the spiritual guide for Sikhs, they do not worship it
