Indeed Hinduism is the oldest organized, self consistent religion. In my opinion, Hindus collected the fables, stories, superstitions that were floating around in those days among various tribes and weaved all of them into a coherent, logical, pantheistic religion. All the other religions have borrowed heavily from Hinduism (as we saw earlier, Allah was originally a Hindu Goddess).
Hinduism: Since Sanskrit is the oldest written language, as far as religion being written down, and as far as organized religion is concerned, it would be Hinduism. It is said that when Rama appeared, according to our calendar, was a million or so years ago (not sure of the exact date, but it's a long time!) And Krishna, God himself according to the Vedic scriptures, appeared here 5,000 years ago. Buddha, about 500 B.C., Jesus, about 2,000 years ago. If you go through the different religious book and study this question deeply, you will find out that Hinduism is the oldest religion of the world. There are no dates and facts, but its history is about more than 50000 thousands years ago.
That is pretty old. But humans have been around a lot longer than that and we have no idea what those people were thinking or practicing. I think we can be certain, though, that there were religions going back to when humans first started to become self aware. By comparison, Islam is a Johnny come lately religion.

Well, believe what you want about the age of Hinduism, but the evidence shows prior religions, so the question about the oldest is moot.Some people today think that there were two people developed to the point we are now (relatively) poofed onto the planet and they were called Adam and Eve, too.
Yes, we do, unless you want to ignore what archaeologists have dug up and anthropologists have deduced from the evidence. Anthropologists have developed quite useful tools to reason out what people were up to that have been dead for hundreds of thousands of years.
Exactly.
King Saul 'first King of the Jews' was devoted to God Almighty Most Gracious alone without associate, and he submitted himself to God.
And this is the implication that he and all other prophets and their followers at their time
were "muslims" in the meaning of the word: submissive and obedient to God.
The devotion to God alone
so wouldnt that make christians muslims also? cause christians submitt themselves to gods will also, right?
Cliffy, depends upon how you define religion. Belief in God is probably as old as the humanity itself. However I think religion is more than just a belief in God, the God of thunder, God of lightening, the Sun God etc. Religion is a coherent, well organized value system, with specific beliefs, creed, well developed mythology, perhaps a Messiah, a Prophet or two, a complete worldview, a definite view on afterlife and so on.
By this criteria, Hinduism must be considered the oldest religion, with perhaps Judaism second oldest. Zoroastrianism third oldest and so on.
Wrong. Worship of apple, Applism is the oldest religion (which I am trying to revive).
This is the meaning of the word Muslim and Islam:
to submit himself to God alone without associate
and to believe in His recent or new apostle.
So if he does not believe in His recent apostle, then he is not any submissive to God.
The explanation:
All the prophets submitted themselves to God and followed the recent revelation in their time.
The believers together with each new apostle are submitting to God.
In other words: Prophet Abraham and his sons were submitting to God.
The twelve sons of Jacob were submitting to God following the religion of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: One God to Whom they submitted themselves.
After that Jesus came submitting himself to God.
And the disciples came and submitted themselves to God Almighty and believed in His apostle Jesus.
Then Muslims believed in the recent apostle of their time: Mohammed; so they were submitting to God alone and obeying the recent apostle of their time: Mohammed.
But Christians now are not "muslims": they do not submit themselves to God alone and follow the recent apostle.
As in the Quran 3: 52
فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ عِيسَى مِنْهُمُ الْكُفْرَ قَالَ مَنْ أَنصَارِي إِلَى اللّهِ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنصَارُ اللّهِ آمَنَّا بِاللّهِ وَاشْهَدْ بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ
The explanation:
(But when Jesus 'perceived and knew' the unbelief of the [Children of Israel, and that they denied him,] he said: "Who will be my helpers for [the cause of the religion of] God?"
(But when Jesus 'perceived and knew' the unbelief of the [Children of Israel, and that they denied him,] he said: "Who will be my helpers for [the cause of the religion of] God?"
The intimate followers [: the disciples] said:" We are the helpers of [the religion of] God;
we believe in God [alone, and that Jesus is His messenger];
so witness you [Jesus] our submission [to God's commands and what He has revealed. Lit. muslims]")
we believe in God [alone, and that Jesus is His messenger];
so witness you [Jesus] our submission [to God's commands and what He has revealed. Lit. muslims]")
That only works if you forget about the Americas, the far East or the Australian Aborigines. We seem to think civilization is a western concept. The Egyptians, Chinese and Toltecs, Pueblos, and who knows who went before them, all had well organized religions. The Aborigines are the oldest living culture and their religious practices out date most other civilizations as well. There are many definitions of religion. I use a broad definition because i don't think we can restrict it with our own bias.
That's completely and absolutely wrong. Monotheism, the all-powerful single deity, is a relatively recent innovation in the history of religion, most societies have had a large pantheon of deities with various specializations.
