Which religion is the oldest. Christianity or Buddhism?
The Teaching of Lord Buddha is not a religion or an 'Ism', it is a way of life - an education to show us the way to end our suffering in the realm of Samsara. His Teaching does not want to relate to the 'first cause' - the chicken or the egg debate. It is more of mind training to understand the true nature of existence than to logically define worldly things. Hinduism, Judaism and Zoroastrianism are all older than Buddhism, which began in 563 BCE.

What does Buddhism stand for and why does it stand for what it stands for?
Buddhism is a type of religion, most commonly practiced in Asia. It was founded around the teachings of an Indian holy man named Siddhartha Gautama Shakyamuni, who was better known by his honorary title, The Buddha (the Enlightened One). Buddhists are generally known for being non-violent, most are vegetarians, and they practice a religion where Buddha is seen as a great teacher and an inspiring leader rather than as a god. It should be noted that some followers of Buddha do treat him as if he is god-like, while others regard him as the perfect role model. Buddhism teaches moderation (the "middle way") and encourages believers to seek inner peace through meditation and by study of the Buddha's teachings, which are called the Sutras. There are several types of Buddhism, including Mahayana, Theravada, Tibetan, and Nichiren Shoshu. Tibetan Buddhism revolves around the teachings of the Dalai Lama, who is regarded by his followers as a living embodiment of Buddha in this present age.
