What was the chronological order in which the major religions were founded?
Major Religions (that still exist in some form): Hinduism - 2000 BC Judaism - 1500 BC Zoroaster - 620 BC Janism - 600 BC Taoism - 580 BC Confusious - 550 BC Buddhism - 524 BC Christianity - 30 AD Shinto - 100 AD Islam - 570 AD Sikhism - 1530 AD Baha'u'llah - 1890 AD These are all approximate dates (especially pre-Christian) and hotly disputed, bnu the chronology is pretty much right. When does a religion start? On the birth of the "holy man"? With his/her first convert? After death? First "church"? See, it can be difficult to pin a tail on such a donkey.

What does the Biblecal term BC and amp AD mean?
Those are not just Biblical terms; they are terms used with year numbers in general. They mean before and after Christ. BC means "before Christ", while AD means "Anno Domini", i.e., "in the year of our Lord" (after Christ).
Did AD start when Jesus died?
AD started as soon as Jesus was born. It is actually Latin for 'after birth' and BC is Latin for 'Before Christ'. It just happens that they are the same letters and AD is not. It is a very common mistake for people to think AD started after Jesus died. But, think about it. If BC ended after he was born because it would no longer be before Christ, and AD started after he died, there would be some years missing in time for when he was living.In Latin, AD stands for Anno Domini which translates to "year of our lord." It it supposed to start counting from the birth of Jesus.

What would the correct year be if there wasn't a divide between BC and AD?
That is not known as we don't know how many years of time there has been The BC and AD are a simple reference point, but we don't have a definite year BC that we can say time started from. Different culture have different beliefs in how long Earth has been here. Even now, some cultures use a different year than those using AD, like Jews and Muslims. BC and AD are not the basis of their calendars.
If BC and AD are not sure for Jesus why we are following the fake the fake which was never accepted by Jesus?
