Best Answer

Religions with a creation story often claim to be the oldest, since the world began with that creation and with the god or gods of that religion.

Others believe that the first spiritual teaching involved animism and was passed down orally from generation to generation. Animism is a primitive religion, which sprang up independently in many areas of the world, but in most countries has mainly been replaced by more formal religion. In animism, spirits are considered to inhabit familiar objects in the landscape.

Australian aboriginal beliefs probably go back 60,000 or more. Cave paintings in Europe, dated around 30,000 years ago, also point to early spiritual teaching.
