You're going to have a hard time finding someone here who wants to do your homework for you. LOL

I'll give you a head start by telling you of the faith I am knowledgeable about.....

Christianity was said to have been founded in A.D. 33, at Pentecost. This is when the Holy Spirit was given to the Catholic Church and the apostles were sent out to preach the gospel to all nations. The founder of the Catholic (Christian) Church was Jesus of Nazareth, son of Mary and Joseph. Many sects have broken away from the Catholic religion (i.e. Protestants and Orthodox) but all Christian faiths are still practiced around the globe today. The basic beliefs that bind Christians are (1) the birth, death and ressurection of Jesus Christ who was both God and man - and (2) the Holy Trinity

Christianity is a monotheistic[1] religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament.[2] Christians believe Jesus to be the Son of God and the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. With an estimated 2.1 billion adherents in 2001, Christianity is the world's largest religion.[3] It is the predominant religion in Europe, the Americas, Southern Africa, the Philippine Islands and Oceania.[4] It is also growing rapidly in Asia, particularly in China and South Korea.[5]

Christianity shares its origins and many religious texts with Judaism, specifically the Hebrew Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament.[6] Like Judaism and Islam, Christianity is classified as an Abrahamic religion (see also, Judeo-Christian).[7][8]

The name "Christian" (Greek Χριστιανός Strong's G5546), meaning "belonging to Christ" or "partisan of Christ",[9] was first applied to the disciples in Antioch, as recorded in Acts 11:26.[10] The earliest recorded use of the term "Christianity" (Greek Χριστιανισμός) is by Ignatius of Antioch.


Buddhism is a dharmic, non-theistic religion and a philosophy.[1] Buddhism is also known as Buddha Dharma or Dhamma, which means the "teachings of the Awakened One" in Sanskrit and Pali, the languages of ancient Buddhist texts. Buddhism was founded around the fifth century BCE by Siddhartha Gautama, hereafter referred to as "the Buddha".


Hinduism (known as Hindū Dharma (Hindi: हिंदू धर्म) in some modern Indian languages[1]) is a religion that originated on the Indian subcontinent. In contemporary usage Hinduism is also referred to as Sanātana Dharma (सनातन धर्म), a Sanskrit phrase meaning "eternal law".[2]

With its origins in the Indus Valley Civilization and Vedic civilization, it has no known founder,[3][4] being itself a conglomerate of diverse beliefs and traditions. It is considered the world's oldest extant religion, [5][6] and has approximately a billion adherents, of whom about 905 million live in India and Nepal,[7] placing it as the world's third largest religion after Christianity and Islam. Other countries with large Hindu populations include Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Fiji, Suriname, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago.

Hinduism provides a vast body of scriptures. Divided as revealed and remembered and developed over millennia, these scriptures expound on a broad of range of theology, philosophy and mythology, providing spiritual insights and guidance on the practice of dharma (religious living). Among such texts, Hindus revere the Vedas and the Upanishads and consider these as being among the foremost in authority, importance and antiquity. Other major scriptures include the Tantras and the sectarian Agamas, the Purāṇas and the epic Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa. The Bhagavad Gītā, a treatise excerpted from the Mahābhārata, is sometimes called a summary of the spiritual teachings of the Vedas.

If you do a search on Google for

"history" AND "Christianity"

then do a search for

"history" of "Buddism"

"history" "Hinduism"

You should be able to do the homework yourself.

Sorry, but why should a 44 year old college graduate who had to work while going to school and raising 2 kids, do your homework for you??

Christianity is the teachings of Jesus Christ. They had their start at Antioch in the first century around 33 c.e. As for the rest look at the religions of Babylon at about 600 b.c.e and you will find their roots.
