Firstly with proof Hinduism is the oldest religion in the World.
The earliest evidence for elements of Hinduism dates back as far as the late neolithic, to the early Harappan period (ca. 5500–3300 BCE). The beliefs and practices of the pre-classical era (ca. 1500-500 BCE) are called the "Vedic religion". The oldest surviving text of Hinduism is the Rigveda, which is dated to between 1700–1100 BCE based on linguistic and philological evidence.

610 AD.- Islam- Mohammed
560 BC. Buddhism- Gautama Buddha
30 AD. Christianity –Jesus Christ
The ancient scriptures found under Hinduism were accurate, considered by experts to be more accurate the Greek text, and all evidence was later found, e.g under water cities.
Hindus do accept JESUS but it must be said that Jesus did not say he was god, but the son of god i.e (messenger) like "sathya Sai Baba". It must be clarified that Hindus ARE NOT Muslims, as they have completely rules, traditions, beliefs.

Not going to debate what I've not studied, but to set you straight on one thing, Jesus said "He who has seen Me has seen the Father...I and My Father are One." The relationship between Jesus and God the Father is one we will not fully understand this side of Heaven, and once there we will not only understand it, but share in it.

The Sanatana Dharma does not hold that there are "thousands of gods" One God, many aspects of the whole.
"We believe that God is one, transcendent, yet fully immanent and present in all things perceivable and conceivable. For all followers of Sanatana Dharma, there is only one, ultimate, supreme God. This God is the one Supreme Lord - the ontological source and foundation of all subjective and objective reality."

So, Hinduism is the oldest superstitious religious belief? I don't think so. People have been superstitious since they've been able to think of such things.
You realize that oldest religion just means more primitive superstition, don't you? "More accurate" superstition is still just superstition.
