∙ 14y agoANSWER: The three oldest monotheistic religions still in practice today are: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Hinduism (polytheistic) is considered to be one of the world's oldest religions along with Zoroastrianism.
I believe the question was what the 'Top 3 oldest religions' were, not the 'three oldest monotheistic religions.'

∙ 8y agoHinduism is thought to have verbal roots at about 1800 BCE.
The Law of Moses is considered to have been written around 1500 BCE so that is when the official Jewish (Israelite) religion began.
Although, according to The Bible, their were worshippers of Jehovah before the law of Moses and even before the flood of Noah's day. The first human recorded in the Bible, Adam, was a worshipper of Jehovah that eventually sinned and rebelled against Jehovah's sovereignty. His son, Abel, was the first human to worship him in an approved state until he was killed by his jealous brother, Cain.
So according to the Bible, the worship of Jehovah, would be considered the oldest religion.
