I suppose that depends on who you ask. From the Orthodox perspective, both the Orthodox and Catholics started at the same time, in the year 33 AD, when there was no such thing as Orthodox and Catholic, and there was only the universal Christian Church. So they both shared a common foundation for the first 1,000 years of their history. All other Christian groups, such as the Protestants, came much later, from the 16th century.

No. Christianity and Islam and Wicca are some of the newest religions. Judaism became before Christianity. The worlds first religion was Shetaut Neterianism from ancient black Egypt (Kemet). It predates all of the worlds religions by at least 30,000 years. Itself, owing it's origins to a more ancient Ethiopia and Nubia.

The World's oldest christian faith is what is known as today as Catholicism. This includes the Western and the twenty-two Eastern Particular churches, and is made up of approximately 2,795 dioceses who all recognize the pope (currently Benedict the 16th) to be the vicar of Christ.
