Using the definition of religion, it's the oldest dating back to Seth's time, Gen.4:26.

Answer:

The definition of "religion" is very fluid as is "Chrisitianity". Even the term "youngest" is difficult to approach as followers often consider their group to have ties back though time befor the founder's existence.

Assuming that Christianity refers to the sect of Judaism that split off from the main body of that faith some 2000 years ago, there are several religions that are newer.

Of the major world religions, Islam is generally considered by non-followers to have been initiated by Mohammad about 610 CE and is younger than Christianity on this basis.

Faiths such as Baha'i (1844 CE). the Rasafari Movement (1930 CE), Scientology, Pasafarianism, Wicca, Jedi and many others are all much newer than Christianity but are viewed with varying degrees of acceptance by the "established" faiths. In some jurisdictions (such as Alberta and Australia) all that is needed to start a religion (legally) is to complete the forms and pay the registration fees. Some countries such as North Korea (Juche proclaimed in December 1955 CE) have established state religions which could also be considered as newer.

Splinter groups from Christianity also exist, each of which claims to be the historic Christianity, but which have only been seen as separate since dates between 1 CE and the present.
