Okay, we can all get confused.
In the beginning we had these Nature-religions all over the world. Shamanistic religions. They’re the oldest known religions and dates back to the dawn of humanity. They deal with nature and spirits – like American Indian and Eskimo beliefs.
Next comes the so-called temple-religions. They include Hinduism, Ancient Greek and Roman Gods, Norse Gods, Egyptian, Babylonian, Maya etc. They’re recognisable by having many Gods and Goddesses, who’re sometimes quite human, and you went to a temple to make sacrifices to get favours. These religions really started when humans started to settle in cities – the urbanisation period – some 12.000 years ago. Early Judaism was, for example, strongly influenced by Babylonian mythology. The ten commandments are almost an exact copy of the “Law of Hammurabi”, an ancient Babylonian King, who were given the law by a god.
Next are the prophet-religions. These religions are classified by having One God, and a man (always a man) a prophet, a messiah, someone who spreads the word. The first “prophet” is Siddhartha – Buddha, founder of Buddhism. The next is Jesus, the founder of Christianity and the third is Mohammed – the founder of Islam. These religions have a God who can read your mind – is omnipotent and removed from Earthly matters.
All prophet religions are a kind of version 2.0 of temple religions. Buddhism is derived from Hinduism. Christianity from Judaism, and Islam from both Christianity and Judaism.
