Answer 11

I would like to point out that Christianity could not be the first religion.  Jesus was Jewish.  Christianity came about after, when people began worshipping him.

Also, the Torah and the Old Testament are the same thing.....

Answer 12

no

here is alittle know unknown fact

Abel the brother of Cain the son of ADAM  was called a prophet.

calling abel a prophet implies a religious organization.

however as Adam was the first patriarch that implies that Adam had to ordained and set apart in order to call Abel a prophet.

but in the life time of the first 100 children of Adam and even and their grandchildren  included, Cain slew Abel and under a secret combination and covenant of Satan I believe Satan took the religion and created the pagan belief systems that remnants still have today!

however the book of urantia says that Adam and EVE came to this planet which was a "prison" planet and that implies (if it wwere true!) that mankind and the 4 races of man on it were pagan before Adam arrived.  at the same time however, the men on the excpected Adam and EVE to come! they were received with honor and glory. which also implies a true religious system and belief in God.
