Each religion believes that their god/spirit is the only one. The better question, however, is: Is there really a god in the first place.

Actually...the oldest known Mosque in the Muslim world is in Mecca...which was first a temple to pagan idols long before Islam declaired it to be their Mosque...see Kabba for details...the Kabba in Mecca has an old meterorite in its walls that Muslims walks around and kiss...they say the blackened stone is suppose to be black from 'soaking' up all the sin...lol? Kinda makes one wonder just why so many people would walk around and around an old ancient pagan temple with a black meterorite in it anyway.

Scholars of South Asian religions are - at the very least - of the opinion that Sanatana Dharma represents one of the oldest spiritual traditions known to humanity. Many of these scholars go as far as to say that it is probably the oldest spiritual path on earth. Yoga practitioners would certainly agree with this latter view. The oldest writings known to humanity are the Vedas, the revealed scriptures of Sanatana Dharma, and date back to perhaps 3800 B.C.E. This is when they were first put into writing; these sacred scriptures are known, however, to have been transmitted orally from generation to generation for an extensive period of time previous to even this.\n\nFollowers of Yoga spirituality themselves hold the view that this spiritual tradition, known in the ancient, sacred language of Sanskrit as "Sanatana Dharma," is an eternal and ever-present (even if not ever-visible) way of life. No one actually knows when Sanatana Dharma was first started. Both practitioners of Yoga spirituality, as well as all academicians, agree that there was no one specific time in known history when the path of Yoga Dharma was founded. Additionally, there was no one individual - a prophet, saint or priest - who can be claimed as the founder of the religion. As far as followers themselves are concerned, Sanatana Dharma was never actually founded. It is an eternal spiritual phenomena that is as old as the Earth herself.  \nMoreover, Dharma (God's Natural Law) is the sustainer of the Earth. This is indicated by the meanings of the two words that constitute the very name of this culture: sanatana means “eternal” and dharma means “natural law."   \n\n  \n\nYoga Dharma is a way of life and world-view that is also trans-geographical.  Yoga and Sanatana Dharma do not pertain only to India.  Traces of Yoga and Sanatana Dharma are to be found in many of the ancient cultures of the world. We see ideas and practices that are very similar to Yoga philosophy, not only in ancient India, but also in Chinese culture, Native American, Celtic, Greco-Roman, Egyptian, Mayan, Germanic, Mesopotamian, and Persian cultures, as well as many others.  The concept of "Dharma", as the natural law inherent in our cosmos, is found in almost all ancient civilizations.  In Chinese, Dharma is translated as "Tao". In Ancient Egyptian, it is known as "Ma'at".  In Latin as "Liga Natura" (Natural Law).  In ancient Persian as "Asha".  The great Twentieth Century Italian philosopher, Baron Julius Evola, refers to this concept as "Tradition".  There is a word for Dharma in almost every ancient language on earth.  So when we speak of "Dharma", we are not just referring to some sect, denomination or creed.  Rather, we are referring to those principles that serve as the very foundation of all authentic religious experience.

Hinduism is the oldest religion. it has a history of 5000 years.

Now as the world became hell and People lost their divine virtues its being called as hindu religion, the most peculiar thing about Hinduism is no one knows who is the founder for this religion, Bhagavad Geetha is the book of hindus. It is a wonderful Book, It gives the insight of soul and God. It teaches how to change ur self. and lots of things.

Because their ancient book of tribal myths tells them too.\n\nThey have no proof, only because thier "Bible" tells them so.\n\nThey even condemn other versions of Christianity!  So it's no wonder why they can't play nice with the other kids on the block.  They can't even play with their own "kind" nicely.\n\nSupposedly Hiduism is the oldest religion, dating some 5,000 or 6,000 years ago.\n\nNow that's old for a religion.

the normal answer would be that, the ancient egyptians are the oldest civilisation on earth older than chritianity. So these eras were the begining of philosphy and researching religion. Religion is almost a science these days , just watch the Di Vinci Code by Dan Brown, and compare this with what our ancestors had to work with. Very primitive, but very impressive if you think about it. \n\nThey had gods for most events, like hunting, death, farming, birth, etc, etc.
