I don't think there was a first religion really, just as there were many communities around the world so were there many religions, of course back then they were pagan.

Christianity is the fulfillment of Jewish prophecy. It does not matter which religion came first, if you want to be technical it would be Adam and Eve, since they walked with God himself.

There's lot of religions before Christanity: Judaism, Buddhism, etc. And lots that came after it. Of course they'll all argue theirs is the one true religion and everyone Else's is wrong.

Voodoo is a blend of African religious tradition and Christianity. So it's African roots go back farther than Christianity, but Voodoo itself is only about 400-500 years old.

I don't know where you got this information from but voodoo is a form of witch craft which comes from the believe in Satan and his power over evil. Sin was in heaven and Satan fell and took 1/3 of the angles with him. anything that will do harm to a person can only be a sin. Voodoo is only good if the person believe it will work and then they are on there own. Because Jesus said I will be with you always.

Voodoo is an old religion but even before Voodoo people believe in Animism, which is a Pagan believe very similar to Voodoo,it probably inspired Voodoo to form in Africa. Yes Judaism is not as old as the Christian fundamentalists would like to believe. Greek Mythology out dates Hebrew Texts and Hindu Sacret Scritpture is even older than that. Hinduism is the oldest "organized" religion.

Debra's1012: That is a ignorant statement and I suggest you get your facts straight before condemning every other religion as Satanists! Satanism only started in the 1960s, Voodoo out dates Judeo-Christianity by more than 20 000 years!

The first type of religion was probably a form of shamanism or ancestor worship.
