Answer: Hinduism

Explanation: The oldest known religion in the world is Hinduism, a polytheistic religion formed as a fusion of different ancient beliefs. Belief in many gods implies that deities can take different forms, but there is a universal divine spirit, Brahman. It is believed that the universal spirit Brahman inspired the wise (sages) to write the sacred texts of Hinduism - Vedic hymns.
