As a Christian - I believe that when our body dies, our Awareness [conscious mind] transfers to an unborn baby with memory erased. However, providing we qualify, we transfer directly to another dimension; with our memory intact. Supposedly, a Christian believes that The Bible is God's word. If you believe the Bible is God's word, you cannot believe in reincarnation. Hebrews 9:27 - And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.
However that being said, it is important to understand that every life lived is a life ended and Hebrews 9:27 refers to that single life only. The life just ended usually did so with the person having left behind effects of actions that the living must endure - either good or bad. Nature's essence is balance and harmony and we are born according to the laws of Nature, so it is unreasonable to expect that a person who has died has escaped from reaping the effects of actions made when alive. It is for this reason that reincarnation is a must. Nature must be harmonized and personalities are afforded many opportunities to learn to live without creating deeds that need incarnation. Once that pure lifestyle has been reached, the task is over and reincarnation becomes no longer necessary for the pilgrim soul who is united with his-her Father in Heaven - so to speak.
No. Some minor sects may have involved reincarnation into their doctrine, but all mainstream and the majority of minor groups have never believed in it; instead, the basic idea is that everybody shall either be sent to heaven or hell, or shall wait in purgatory, or shall simply wait in the grave, before the final judgment whereafter every soul is sent to either heaven or hell.

The beliefs about the afterlife vary a lot between different religions. Religions usually believe in some kind of afterlife; some Christian denominations believe that we will return right here to this Earth, some time in the future; others believe in our souls going to a different world. Some other religions have a similar belief in our souls going to a world different to this one. Some oriental religions mainly, believe in "reincarnation" - that our souls will come back to this world in a different individual, perhaps even in an animal.
Reincarnation exists for all Religions.
All religions believe in a god. However if you are speaking of the Christian God, then the answer is the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic people believe in God.
If you are talking about reincarnation, rebirth of the soul into another body after death, then yes, both Hinduism and Buddhism, religions originating out of South Asia, believe in reincarnation. If that's not what you meant then I don't think any religions believe you go back in time. Hope that helps clarify
