Where does the Catholic religion compare to the oldest religion?

The oldest religion would be monotheism, much similar to Judaism (That is, if Adam and Eve were the the first parents). We understand Catholicism as the fulfillment of Judaism. All religion before was building up before that. Some evidence for this is that some native African groups have very similar beliefs of creation compared to Judaism, and that many native Americans also have a monotheistic thinking. Perhaps kind of like "broken telephone" with monotheism originally uniform, but variations were added as the time went by.
