Salam (Peace)!
There were only 3 original religions which were sent from God to humanity. These religions were Judaism, Christianity and Islam. All of the other religions are man-made meaning they were discovered by human beings who claimed to have some spiritual connection. Only the original religions are the truth and all of the originial religions taught mankind to worship ONE GOD. Now you see religion in the forms of hinduism, budhism, etc that teach people to worship many gods. The difference between them are that the 3 original religions were the truth and the newer religions are all inventions to divide people from the truth. I hope i clarified this question, inshallah (God Willing).

Your Older and Newer religions usually add to or take away from the Original truth that can change a person espically when your talking of the christian religion and reasons for so many different denominations! All of them either add to or take away from the Salvational message Originally preached! Which is still found in the Bible today very few actually teach it because most follow tradition of men and Not of God!
Pentecost: What's That?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The day of Pentecost was observed in Jerusalem fifty days after the celebration of the Passover, which commemorated Israel's deliverance out of Egypt. It is significant that this day was chosen by the Lord to begin the fulfillment of Joel 2:28: "I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh...."
The Spirit came upon the waiting, praying disciples in an overwhelming manner. Their complete commitment to Christ and His commission evoked a mighty baptism of God's power. This was evidenced initially by their speaking in tongues (Acts 2:4). The Spirit was resident in their lives from that moment. The Spirit-filled early church witnessed many outstanding miraculous happenings (Acts 3:1-7; 4:31). They were able to lead victorious lives as a result of their Pentecostal experience.
Two baptisms were disclosed on the day of Pentecost. There was a baptism in the Holy Spirit, and in the Apostle Peter's message that followed, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ was commanded (Acts 2:38). This outward, physical baptism mysteriously merges with that of the Spirit, and is the "one baptism" of Ephesians 4:5. This is what Jesus referred to as being "born again" in John 3:3-7. And how wonderful to be born into the family of God-changed, transformed, and made a "new creature in Christ Jesus".
No, Pentecost is not a denomination. It is a new birth experience. It is primitive Christianity made relevant to today's world. The people referred to as Pentecostal simply believe, teach, and receive all that transpired on that birthday of the church...Pentecost, 33 A.D. There is a church near you that embraces these basic Christian truths and experiences. You owe it to yourself to attend-and see what Pentecost can really mean to you!

The biggest difference is polytheism versus monotheism. Ancient religions usually worshipped a whole group of gods. Most modern religions worship only one god who may have helpers (angels, prophets, lesser deities).

regrettably, faith resides, motivated by way of the basically and unjust leaders, the opinionated, the interpretive. i do no longer think of, even Atheists (sounds impolite that way?) in all probability ought to care much less approximately God. that's the business enterprise of comments and concepts, some splendidly useful and a few risky. human beings ought to continuously try to be better, understanding failing, yet attempting in any respect cases. So, in a nutshell, diverse :)

Some believe in the ways of Eastern mysticism, like enlightenment, using meditation and drugs to get there. Nothing really new, just different names.

All religions, new and old, are similar in that they are just a manifestation of delusion.
