If your idea of god is true, why didn't anybody believe in him until about 2000 bc? Hinduism was around about 2000 years before Judaism even existed, and humans were around for about 190,000 years before Hinduism even existed...

if your religion is true, why wasn't it the first religion?

No religions are true.
Science is truth.
The more we learn about our universe, the less need we have for religion.
Therefore, the first religion would be the least true.

Wikipedia is not always correct. Judism is older than 2000 years. As a matter of fact it's actually older than Hinduism.

Noah followed Jehovah before there were hindus. The fact that Judaism may not have been codified before the hindus came along is less important than the fact that Judaism pointed to the true God.

all religions have to start somewhere. even hinduism had it's very first day. Besides when it comes to beliefs I don't think it matters if it's popular, it matters if you feel like it is a truth that you can live and die by.

I can't answer your question, but I can tell you that Wikipedia is not a valid source for accurate information. Ask any librarian.

Seriously, why would anyone use WIKIPEDIA as a reference?
People are allowed to edit that site.
I could put whatever I wanted to there.
