Does anyone know what was the first religion to come about that we have evidence of it exsisting?
Any answers are appreciated.

Wicca was created in the last 50 years, it was taken off roots of Druidry and other old forms of Paganism - so I know that sure isn't it.

Originally I was thinking towards the religion followed by the ancient egyptians to be the oldest, since that in itself is a form of Paganism.
Although, I am still trying to find places on the web concerning Hinduism.
All this help is appreciated. :3

While Hinduism is very old, the oldest known, organized religion is Zoroastrianism.

Belief in God
because when He created the world and mankind, He was with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. After that, God helped the Hebrew people move to Palestine. He directed them to Egypt during a famine where they were enslaved for 400 years.
Delivering them from the Pharaoh, He helped them retake the Promised Land but they became like the other religions in the land.
After judges, kings, and prophets, the Hebrew people were still disobedient to God. When Jesus came, He forgave everyone of their sins, even us today, all our past and future sins.
All you have to do to is confess your mistakes and believe in Him and be saved and have everlasting life.

Veda Hinduism is the oldest religion that is still followed. Wicca is actually a new religion founded in the 1800s, it is a joke compared to what it claims to be

Probably Paganism but Wicca, Hindu, and the ancient Egyptian religion(s) also come to mind.

Probably some form of paganism, though not the modern type. Egyptians, Sumerians, Greeks, and others probably are all around the same.
Figuring out why the sun set, why storms came, why death happened, and other questions were probably first on Early man's thinking list.

Probably some people from a million or so years ago worshipping the sun.
There is evidence of that the very earliest humans worshipped various stone idols. Way before any organized societal religion.
