There where no Christians before Christ's birth. There were other religions though, mostly Pagan ones. The Pagans would (and still do!) pray to a pantheon of Gods and Goddesses, or one Goddess and her God counterpart.

Before Christ's birth, the Israelites, who became Christians when he entered in their lives until 33acd.when Christ's death abolished the Mosiac Law, the israelites would pray to the God YHWH, this is is hebrew of course. Also known as the TETRAGRAMMATON. Meaning four hebrew consonants.
You can pronounce it like: YAHWEH. It was later belived that pronouncing this name was too pure or clean for them to use it in their speech. It was never used after Jesus died.
the meaning is: he causes to become. something close like that

Christ was a Jew, Christianity, as an organized church, with an official hierarchy didn't exist until the 4th century (A.D., of course).

Christians could still pray to God, without Jesus having to Die for them, like Moses and Noah and stuff, they believed and prayed to God

Jews prayed to God. Jesus came for the Jews but they rejected him so He expanded his ministry to all others after the cross and resurrection.

There were no Christians before Christ... but the Israelites have a congregation called "The Church in the Wilderness"
They prayed to God the Father whose name is written in Hebrew.
But in roman alphabet. it is spelled as YHWH.
