What is the first religion that was established?
There are many religions nowadays and it continue to grow. I know that Roman Catholic is one of the old religions and many protested from it and so the Protestants were created like the Seventh Day Adventists, Baptist Church, Mormons, and many more. There are still many religions that continue to blossom everywhere. What is the first religion that was established and when did it start and who founded it?

I have searched a lot to find out a true answer of your question. (as it is an interesting question to me). There were nearly same question in amazon.com, wiki.answers, youtube.com and mikeadkins.com.
The following is the summary and my answer:
Religion starts with the human civilizations. Nobody knows what the first religion was.
Human being (Homo sapiens) started 100,000 years before. Religion developed gradually. Evidence of ritual behavior in Africa has been found as far back as 70,000 years. Recorded history only goes back 6,000 years. Therefore, there is no documentation in history which one is the 1st religion.
According to some holy books, it was suggested that the Adam & Eve were the 1st men & women respectively and their religion was directly dictated by the almighty God/Lord/Allah - that is supported by Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Therefore, the religion of the father Adam and the mother Eve was the 1st religion in the world. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all Abrahamic (prophet Ibrahim) religions. Abraham’s (prophet Ibrahim) root father was the Adam and root mother was the Eve, the 1st man & woman in the world.

1. The first religion involved the Mother Earth Goddess or the Venus Figurines, associated with prehistoric cultures.
2. Others say that animism would be the oldest known type of religion. In animism, spirits are considered to inhabit familiar objects in the landscape. For example, Australian aboriginal beliefs probably go back 60,000 or more.
3. The Egyptian religion can also be considered the oldest religion. Its origins date back beyond 3000 BCE.
4. Since Sanskrit is the oldest written language, as far as religion being written down, and as far as organized religion is concerned, it would be Hinduism.
5. Bible records the first type of religious ceremony in Genesis 3:3-6 where Cain and Abel both made offerings unto the Lord, the Creator of all. According to the Biblical view, all other religions would have come after this time and developed from it, essentially as creations of man. Genesis 4:3-5 (King James Version) - Adam had a form of open fellowship with God as He had spoken to him and received and understood God's instructions.
6. The first man also the the first prophet was Adam on the Earth, Adam (Peace be upon him) taught that Allah is the name of the God and follow the commands of Allah was the religion.
7. Vedic Hinduism and Zoroastrianism are considered the oldest organized religions.
