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.
