The Beginning of Religion: This is The Evolutionary Tree Of All Religions On Earth

By

Since the dawn of mankind, humans have tried to make sense of their world, especially when faced with unknown phenomena such as ‘what causes storms’, ‘what happens to us after we die’, and ‘how was the world formed’? It is plausible that from such questions, our first primitive religions were formed.

The earliest evidence of a religious practice can be traced back to 100,000 years ago when we began to bury our dead. Although we cannot define this as the origin of faith, it does suggest that at the dawn of humanity, we had begun to consider some kind of afterlife.

The chart made an error in the start of Judaism.  It can be argued that Judaism began with Abram (Abraham) in 2166 BC.

Early versions of Judaism involved an accompanying female "consort" of Yahweh called Asherah. Yahweh's earliest references relate to a Midianite "wind god"...a nature deity...who's worship was transferred via trade and interaction with early Canaanite peoples...from whom the Israelite people arose. The original deity of worship for the Israelites was El, a Canaanite deity and the actual namesake for "Israel". Over time, these deities were merged into the apparition of Yahweh and the worship of the consort Asherah faded...a slow evolution into monotheism.

One thing I notice is at least three religious symbols are eerily similar to Nazi symbol.
