Answer 1

Well, since atheism is not a religion. I can say that it wasn't first.

However, this is a good article on some research into prehistoric religions:

Answer 2

I think the ancient Greeks and Chinese had religions and gods long before Christianity and Judaism and other popular religions today. However, one could argue that those ancient people had a sense of what was right, but required prophets like those in the Bible to reveal the truth to them. Look up archetypes, those are stories that are shared among unrelated cultures and religions, like the Great Flood. Hell, I won't say that my religion is absolutely true because I don't want to force my beliefs (or appear to) on anyone, but if several unrelated cultures and religions all have a story of a Great Flood, wouldn't that make you think it was actually true?

Answer 3

I believe that my religion was the first established by god on this earth. I don't believe that it has exsisted forever though. I believe that it went away when people stopped believing, and that through Divine intervention, that it was brought back to the earth. I really am unable to prove it in this kind of a forum. It really would take too long. Anyway, I am not sure that the "true" church has physical proof, I think that the proof comes in believeing the scriptures, having faith, and allowing the holy Spirit lead you to the truth and testify in your heart what is true.

Answer 4

Are you serious? Religions have been around since the dawn of humanity and maybe before. But if you take the time to examine them you will be amazed in what you find. Not the rituals or the artifacts but the core beliefs.

Answer 5

well the oldest known religion i can think of is worship of Venus the goddess of love and nature but i cant prove it because most of the history of this world is gone but the second oldest religion is egyptian then sumer then babylonian and then there is the canaate and then there is hindhuism and then on from there you have hebrew/jewish belief and then on from that is buddhism and many other smaller religions. back in the old days there where milllions of religions and most of them are gone now unfortunatly and to be quite honest i feel that most religions should have been allowed to stay in. the world to me is 4.5 billion years old you can imagen there where many who claim that the oldest known religion is paganism but isnt paganism a umbrella term you may ask? yes it is but that doesnt mean there where actual religions in that terming like Taoism or even worship of the dragon goddess some where in there? religion in general is based on books and temples and churchs and all sorts of ideas and beliefs as is. but civilation came along many years later and the first known civilation was egyptian. so if you want to know what the first religion was think back to egypt and maybe even farther back than that who knows what religion really was the first.

i know christians will claim they are the oldest religion or the jews are the oldest religion but they are both wrong in all its ideas.

i hope this helps you figure out the oldest religions

Answer 6

I'm pretty sure a FORM of mine was the first, but I don't think mine is "the right" one. I can't remember all the details and I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but I know there've been archeological findings of ancient goddess statues and drawing on ancient caves of thirteen people gathered round a fire. This leads me to believe that Paganism was one of, if not THE first religion on earth.

Blessed be. :)

Answer 7

We have no idea of the older religions, only that they are many thousands of years old and mostly polytheistic(from cave paintings). Hinduism is the oldest major religion today, while there are many smaller tribal and native religions that are older than that that are still in practice.

Answer 8

well here comes a history lesson We as 1ST nations Were not descendents from bearing striat we were here 30000 years or more.So My beliefs are with 1St Nations All the way.So don't think we were boat people.We were here.Still arePeace

Answer 9

My religion wasn't first. The first 120 or so religions were just a bunch of sun worshippers and superstitious stick chuckers.

Answer 10

I don't care about what religion came first and what tribe worshipped the gods of the volcano, who cares. The point is to trust Christ.
