Agnostic here, not wanting to change anyone's religious believes.
If you believe, as I do, that Adam and Eve aren't REAL people, then we would be able to make the assumption that there were people on Earth who had a religion at or earlier in the history of Earth before Judism was developed.
This question is for you to think about what did the human race's religions look like several thousand years ago, at the start of writing, not earlier than writing.
But consider the first religions that had writing. What did they look like? Did they have fundamentalists who claimed "og" and "nog" were the first humans?
What would the earliest religions look like in societies that had the earliest writing?

In some ways I believe it would look quite similar to today. They would find one thing to center their worship around.. be it a big rock or deformed tree and that place became sacred. I think the only difference between then and today is then there probably were blood sacrifices in all religions because they had no other way of comprehending how an angry deity could be appeased.

I used to beleive that religon originaly started it keep people in control, to have a group of people doing the right thing would be easier if they thought there was someone out there they needed to please. If there was no creator why not kill someone who had something you wanted, why not take what you want and think only of your own pleasure, because if there is no after life and this is all there is being nice would'nt be an option for some people. But now I know that there is religon because there is a God, we were created all the other explanations (I really tried to find one) are so far fetched and immposible.

ROFLMAO-
You got a christian here!
Question for people who don't think Adam and Eve were the first humans?
In Gen 1 on the 6th day the races were created!
In Gen 2 on the 8th day (2000 years later at least) The Adam was made.
So now what!???

If Adam and Eve actually existed, a pre-Jesus form of Christianity would have been the first religion. It wasn't, so it makes sense that the creation story is just that, a story.

i believe that Adam and eve where the first people that where created if you doubt me the answer this question. if they where not the first people created then tell me how human race started? and don't say revolution cause IT IS NOT REAL a human can't be made from a monkey and besides there is no prove of it but there is prove that Adam and eve where created by God because God still exists. and if we were created from a monkey we will be thinking like one if you can prove that humans are created by someone else then email me at chichiforjesus@yahoo.com

As far as I know, a religion doesn't look like anything but a group of people in agreement over something immaterial, and worshiping it. In my opinion, they would look like idiots who's time would be better spent, hunting and gathering. But who am I to judge?
