Confucianism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism are all about the self. There is no community. All about the self's journey into spirituality.
Judaism built a nation. In fact, rebuilt that nation repeatedly and will continue to do so.
Out of all the systems of belief that you give, I'd have to go with Judaism.

Well, it really depends on your frame of reference, or where you are in the world. If you're in the middle east, I'm sure you'd think that Islam had the most impact. On the other hand, if you're in China, you'd think Buddha had the most impact on the world.
To me, I believe Christ and Christianity still had the most impact, though, not necessarily good impact. The biggest empire today is mostly "Christian" (<-- note the quotes, the term is used VERY loosely) as many of the previous western empires were (Spain, Holy Roman, England, France...). And if you think about it, history is mostly written by the winners.
Christianity has already been around for over 2000 years and is still growing. IChristianity shaped the US government to the system it uses (they took that from the methodist's committee system or something).
Many political concerns still revolve around the Vatican for some reason....
*sigh* I'm just rambling at this point.

do no longer understand yet there have been a good style of international locations, entities, & religions that have had a brilliant consequence on worldwide historic previous. purely announcing is it Greece or Rome is to simplistic. The Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Hebrews, the chinese language, the Myans, the Persians, the Mongols, the jap, the Aztecs, the Ottoman Empire, the Russians, the French, the English the Spanish, the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, america. The Catholic Church, Islam, Budism, Hinduism, the Protestant Reformation, Judiasm, might desire to pass on & on & on lol. purely announcing Greece & Rome does not rather decrease it to me :). the worldwide has been made the way it rather is by ability of a hodge podge of diverse cultures, innovations & religions. The Romans took plenty from the Greeks so i think you are able to say the Greeks in case you prefer to easily decrease it 2 the two one in all them. yet that's dificult to do & it do away with what the two international locations have been in a position to do.

The history is changing due to Islam. Hinduism is the oldest religion, but because of its tolerance, it has hardly made any impact. The last ever lasting impact was with Christianity.

Judaism. Between the Diaspora, the Holocaust, all the wars in the middle east and the creation of the Friar's Club... we Jews are all over history.

Judaism, if one takes into account the creation of Christianity and Islam as well. This, of course, based upon a specific definition of "greatest".
Buddhism has probably had the best.

I would say Judaism and Christianity.
No other man (Jesus Christ) has changed the world and made history they way He has.
Yes, He was born a Jew and He fulfilled the prophesy of the Old Testament / Torah and now His followers (Christians) are world wide...funny He told His disciples to go all nations and baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit...
...His will be done!
