which is very old religion?

Question

iam eager to know about

Answer 1

OK, there are a lot of old ones. You might want to be a little more specific. You mean like Egypt old, Greek old, Roman old, what? Do you want something Pagan, or Sumerian?

Way too open ended there.

Answer 2

Islam likes to think that it has been around forever but only VERY gullible muslims believe that. Nobody who is not a muslim believes that.

Most religions have changed a lot, so they have something in common with the way they were practiced in the past but they're basically a different religion. I know Judaism the best because I'm Jewish. Since the temple was destroyed by the Romans, we only pray in the synogogue and do a "sacrifice of the heart" through prayer to replace the real live animal sacrifices we used to do in the temple. I know Christianity a little because I live in America where a lot of people are Christian. Christianity has changed a lot since it started, there's differences between the different groups, saints, veneration of Mary, concern over judgement day, etc.

I've read about Hinduism a little and gone to a couple Diwali festivals. Isn't it true that some of the traditions and holidays and pilgrimages in Hinduism are newer and some are older? Maybe the oldest is five thousand years old, but most of them probably are not, right?

Zoroastrianism, what you in India call Parsee is older than Judaism and, from what I've read, their religion is basically unchanged. If that is true, then Parsee would be the oldest religion.

Answer 4

Islam which is the first and the oldest of all religions. People have a misconception that Islam is 1400 years old and that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the founder of this religion. Islam existed since time immemorial, ever since man first set foot on this earth. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was not the founder of Islam. He was the last and final Messenger of Almighty God.
