The archeological evidence seems to suggests both.

I would think sun-worship, but who knows? Ancestor-worship, tribal gods (such as the one which Christianity adopted). Judaism and Christianity are newcomers on the scene compared with the folks who invented the FIRST religion.

The first religion is simply not known to mankind!

There is no history on the first. The oldest surviving is the Hindu religion many believe it influenced the other newer religions.

the first religion? well i know that there was a time when we didnt have religion. the first relgious views were of the things we couldnt explain.
we saw a big light in the sky (sun) and we could explain it so it was god.
and eventually we saw rain and clouds and snow, and wind, misfortune, death, etc etc.
we gave a god for all of the things we couldnt explain. this is polytheism.
and as we began to explain things, there was a less need for so many gods.
so now we have one. and we are working on getting rid of him too.

The Neanderthals spinkled flower petals in the graves of their dead. We can't be sure what it means, but it suggests that religion predates our species.

It was never a "religion",it was the way the God of Israel said to live along with His commands,laws,and statues,a way of life..Just like we are living the way of this world,listening to the government,the president,the police and any other law enforcement,laws of this land..Its a way of life for us isnt it?Not a "religion"...So the first people the first nation that HE chose,the covenants He made,was with the people of Israel,His chosen ones and their descendants..Of course anyone who will obey Him and His ways are welcome also..It wasnt the Jews or any other "religion"...Shalom
