The names of religions are proper nouns, so they always begin with a capital.

Capitalize the name of a religion when referring to it as a specific entity or belief system, such as "Christianity," "Islam," or "Buddhism." Do not capitalize general references to beliefs or practices associated with a religion, such as "biblical teachings" or "meditative practices.”

Yes they do, because they are all proper nouns, and are treated the same as a person's name. Thus: Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, etc.
