It would be impossible to list every single religion that has ever existed in human history - there are far too many of them. Consider, for example, that in ancient times, every tribe had its own separate religion. Here are some of the religions that have, or have had in the past, large followings.

Christianity.

Islam.

Judaism.

Hinduism.

Buddhism (some people argue that Buddhism is not really a religion).

Sikhism.

Confucianism (again, not everyone agrees that Confucianism counts as a religion).

Taoism.

Shintoism (the traditional religion of Japan).

Zoroastrianism (the traditional religion of Persia).

Manicheeism (probably doesn't exist any more).

Catharism (an offshoot of Manicheeism that was very popular in Europe in the tenth to thirteenth centuries).

Jainism (an offshoot of Hinduism).

The Ancient Egyptian religion.

The Ancient Canaanite religion (very nasty).

The Ancient Celtic religion.

The Ancient Greek religion (later adopted by the Romans with only minor synchretism with whatever the Romans had originally believed).

The Norse religion.

The Aztec religion (super-nasty).

Neo-Paganism (an attempt to revive and modernise religions of this type).

Animism (hundreds of forms of this).
