Sure, even the Abrahamic faiths started before that with Judaism.
Hinduism as well as any number of now (largely) extinct polytheisms (e.g. Egyptian, Greco-Roman, Babylonian) predate the times of Jesus.
And that's just major organized religion; early, likely shamanistic traditions formalized enough to qualify as religions traditions likely predated the times of Jesus by several millenia.

There were many religions.
Zarathustra
Hinduism
The vedas
The Norse religions
The Celtic Religion
The Aztecs (Mexicas to be correct)
The egyptian religion
And many many more.
Christianity and Islam are the youngest. Christianity is to date the most agressive, violent and intolerant.
