How do you even begin to tell which religion came first: writings? Archaeology? Old dusty idols?

Some say Paganism is easily first (Often Wiccans claim this)
Some say Hinduism.
Some say Buddhism trumps Christianity by a few centuries.
The Ba'hai's say maybe them. But then there's those Zoroastrians. or the Jewish Messiah?.
