Sanatan mean "nitya", anadi and "shaswat". I understand your confusion about word Dharma or religion. Hinduism, Islam, Christianity are all commnuities i.e. communal not religion or Dharma. Dharma is something without which life is not possible to live like humans. From very basic things like eating right thing, sitting correctly to breathing correctly and at the highest level finding the ultimate truth and be one with the one is Sanatan Dharma.
Having defined nature of Sanatan Dharma, it has obvious supremacy over other communities which people don't like because people are stuck in their "own wells" and cant understand there is an ocean. What they fail to understand is that even when they belong to different communities, they can still adapt Sanatan Dharma, for example if a Sikh had to adopt Sanatan dharma he would just need to change his eating sleeping habbits adopt non violence and most importantly start meditation he will be following Sanatan Dharma. Sanatan Dharma involves lot of other things like Doing Yajna which are pretty much optional for example poor people can not afford it. Regarding Deities, Sanatan Dharma has one supreme, param pita parmeshwar which is beyond "nirgun/sagun" nirakar/sakar so you are free to devote your self to any form or no form of God and search him within you.
Most importantly people don't accept Sanatan dharma because they read too much. People should think logically and than they will always find the anwer.
