I've posted this a litle while ago. I was wondering if any one knew wich religion came first from long time ago till let's say 1900 or if someone knew where to find the information. There's so many of them that exist in this crazy world as we know but wich one are the real ones and wich one are fake or modifyed version of other religions.

Homo sapiens is homo religiosus
Etymologically it comes from the latin ‘ligare’ – to bond, to join. So religion = re-join, re-union
Greek Mythology goes back to 5000 b.c.
An underwater rectangular ziggurat (tomb) was dated 8000 b.c.
Bushman (not g.w.) religious paintings go 27,000 years back.
Biblical creation 4004 b.c.
Vedic culture oldest date 10,000 b.c.
There is no non-religious culture, not yet.

Actually,
The word "religion" is closer to the term religare, which means "to restrain, to imprison"...
And so, religion is bondage.
And therefore, the origin of religion was as a way of restraining the masses of those who cannot control themselves for whatever reason, to keep them from ruining everything, as they usually do whenever you give them free reign.
