>What's the oldest religion
In an absolute sense, various forms of animal worship in the Paleolithic era are probably the earliest forms of religion. As far as modern religions are concerned, Hinduism has roots that go back much further than any other modern religion.

>What do all religions have in common
Most religions tend to be in agreement on the basics of being a good person and not overindulging in various sensual pleasures.

>What religions have similarities?
Religions from the same region tend to be the most similar. The Abrahamic religions have lots of similarities, Hinduism and Buddhism have a lot in common, etc etc.

I don't know how accurate this is, but someone put a lot of time into it.

>What's the oldest religion,
Classical shamanism clocks in at a solid 20,000 years old - far older than even Vedic texts of Hiduism

>What do all religions have in common,
A belief/understanding/interaction with that which cannot be immediately sensed, counted or measured.

>What religions have similarities?
-Singular God (Christianity, Islam, Judaism)
-Unknowable Realities (Islam, Taoism)
-The Godhead (Hinduism, Islam, Shamanism)
-Nonhuman Entities (Buddhism, Hinduism, Shamanism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism)
-"No Self" (Buddhism, Sufism)

Your compelling argument has swayed me, anon. I now realize the error of my ways. Please forgive me.
