Hinduism is NOT the oldest religion, depending on what you mean by the term. It came into existence in a corrupt hybrid of the ancient legacy of India and the Veda-spawning corruption created by the Aryan phase.
The ancient yoga/tantra of primordial Shaivism and Jainism were ripped off by Hinduism and its distortions. Finally Hinduism ended up marginalizing the great creation of Buddhism, one of India’s greatest contributioins to world history.
Religion has been evolving through history, beginning with primal religions, leading to Hinduism, then Judaism, to Christianity, then Islam. Hinduism, the oldest living religion, speaks of atman, the eternal soul, and moksha – devotion to and love for God. Isn’t that the same as Judaism and the sayings in the 13 principles of faith? Or the essential beliefs of Christianity and Islam and Sikhism? Interestingly, the emergence of Sikhism was a consequence of political and social instability in Punjab.
