Simple question. If there is one god, one savior, one teaching or what now.

Why is Christianity not the oldest religion. Its not the first. Hinduism dates back a few thousand years before Christians even existed. How can this be? There was a God before the God we all follow today? People worshiped anther deity?

If this is true which god or Gods are the fake ones. Made up? I think some have to be. If there are multiple religions why? Dont you think there should be one?

Again. Christianity is a belief system. But it doesn't make it true.

It's possible that there is "one god" whose properties distribute both objectively and subjectively, or impersonally and personally, to each person such that God is both one and many. Accordingly, a person who claims Jesus is the only way may very well be correct at the same time that someone who claims Allah is the only way is also correct, and at the same time someone who claims achieving Nirvana is the only way is correct, etc. In other words, it's possible that everyone worships the same impersonal God by worshipping their own personal gods. This can be logically modeled so long as there is a general archetype for a relationship between impersonal God and us that allows for topological variations in the expression of that relationship.

This is a good way to look at it. I like the idea. Just that most people wont look at it this way. There is one and only one.
They wont even budge to look at another religion.

Nowadays it seems that people of a different religion tend to shy away or push other religions away. You seen religious hate all the time. Why? We worship one god. Why is being a Muslin worse then being a Christian. Some Christians see it this way and vice versa.
