What is the order from the oldest to the newest religion?

It is difficult to definitively rank religions in order of age, as the origins of many beliefs and practices are not well-documented. However, some of the oldest known religions include Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and ancient Egyptian religion. Judaism, which dates back to around 2000 BCE, is also among the world's oldest monotheistic religions.


What was the chronological order in which the major religions were founded?

Major Religions (that still exist in some form): Hinduism - 2000 BC Judaism - 1500 BC Zoroaster - 620 BC Janism - 600 BC Taoism - 580 BC Confusious - 550 BC Buddhism - 524 BC Christianity - 30 AD Shinto - 100 AD Islam - 570 AD Sikhism - 1530 AD Baha'u'llah - 1890 AD These are all approximate dates (especially pre-Christian) and hotly disputed, bnu the chronology is pretty much right. When does a religion start? On the birth of the "holy man"? With his/her first convert? After death? First "church"? See, it can be difficult to pin a tail on such a donkey.

It does NOT have to have anythingA religion is not restricted to just having a belief in some kind of afterlife : it is a belief in something as a way of life. It is not just a belief system - it is anything a person strongly believes in, worships and adores and make their religion : such as:- an Australian Rules football team (for example, "Collingwood")- a soccer team [for example, Leeds United)- a motor vehicle (for example, Bugatti)- a TV or film star (for example, Sean Connery)- a scientist (for example, Isaac Newton- a politician (for example, Winston Churchill)Believers in a particular religion/quasi-religion/ thing can be quite antagonistic towards those who don't believe exactly what they do.
