Answer 1

The Christian calendar A.D. dates back 2008 years ago while the Muslim calendar A.H. dates back 1429 years ago. Thus Christianity is older. Neither are the second oldest of religions in the world since clearly Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu and other calendars date back to earlier eras

Answer 2

No. Judaism is very old as well, but it is the different religions like Zen or Buddhism that are even older.

Answer 3

Among the Monotheistic religions, Christianity was the second to be developed and Islam was the third. However, numerous faiths came into existence long monotheism even was a thought in anyone's mind, such as the the Ancient Egyptian Religion, the religion of the Australian Aborigines, the various Native American faiths, etc. Therefore neither Christianity nor Islam are the second oldest faith. They are much younger.
