The more important question should be 'what was the religion of the first set of human beings' ?

Islam.

Total submission to the will and commands of the Creator.

The information is not even right. First 2 on the list are not correct. Moreso, Christianity's not a religion, IT'S LIFE. (Act 5:20)

Islam is not Religion of Peace but of Violence, The Spread is Through Violence that is why Many that Joined , Joined because of Fear , It's Synonymous with Terrorism. Argue with your Keyboard
Re: Top 10 Oldest Religions In The World by RevenuesBoost(f):
One thing people don't know about religion is that, most religions have similar stories.

Meaning, one religion gave birth to another.

Example Judaism gave birth to Christianity.
Christians read same Old Testament Scriptures as the Jews.

He did. The entire point is to be CHRISTian (Christlike). That's the entire point.

Unlike the rest, Christianity isn't a religion.

It's a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

That's why God's presence is evident when we pray, worship and read His WORD.
Don't be a religious bigot!! Other religious don't also think their religion is just a religion! They also think it's a way of life! Every adherent will also want to hype their religion just like you're doing now.

I don't expect Africans to do this thing. There's no such thing as African Tradition religion. Every other race lists it's religions separately but we lump them all together. That's what is done when you don't think a thing is important enough to name. Like how you say "Ade, Ibrahim and others". List the religions, treat them as separate because they all are.

That's because Islam is the only one named by its founder. The names of the other religion came after them. All they bothered with was sharing a way of life.

How can anyone who went to school think that Islam is older than Christianity? Didn't they teach you history in school?

Re: Top 10 Oldest Religions In The World by IhfazConsult: 9:11am On Aug 28, 2025
Islam is older. Qur'an chapter 2 vs 136 confirms this. In fact, all the prophets sent by Allaah submit to His will (they're all Muslims).

Follow the prophets accept Islam and bear witness that there is no other god (deity worthy of worship) except Allaah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger.

African Traditional Religion is over 3000 years.


The person that compiled this is uninformed for not acknowledging that.

In the beginning, man made God in his image and after his own likeness did he fashion it.
Re: Top 10 Oldest Religions In The World by Ademola11a(m): 9:12am On Aug 28, 2025
According to Islam, the religion started from the first man, Adam. It has always been there, and so far you believe in one God and follow the prophet at its time you are a Muslim. Though their original message may have be corrupted over time, that is why God kept sending prophet, around 125,000 of them, some we don't know by name.
Ex: Buddha, could have been a Muslim prophet, who thought the monotheistic message but the message got corrupted over time. (Just an hypothesis)

The fact that muhammad is the last prophet may mislead people into thinking that Islam is the last religion to exist, but it's just considered as the final and completed form of the same monotheistic message revealed throughout history.

This is totally wrong, Islam had been existing since our first father Adam ( Peace be unto him). He worshipped only one God that is indivisible.This means He was a Muslim.This is the correct point โ˜๏ธ

And you did not mention African traditional religion? Hmmmm

African Traditional Religion (ATR) is considered as old as human civilization in Africa, predating recorded history and believed to have emerged with the first humans, potentially as early as 200,000 BCE. It does not have a known founder or specific founding date but rather evolved over millennia through the oral traditions of African peoples, predating the arrival of foreign religions like Christianity and Islam in Africa.
