The oldest known religion that has been practiced is Hinduism, which dates back to at least 2300 BCE and possibly earlier, based on evidence found in the Indus Valley Civilization. However, forms of animism and shamanism are likely even older, though they are more categorized as spiritual practices rather than organized religions as we understand them today. These early forms of religion often involved nature worship and ancestor veneration.

Brah, let's talk about the OG gains in spirituality, not just those gym gains. We're hittin' the ancient sets here:

Hinduism - This one's the real deal, bro. Going strong since at least 2300 BCE, maybe even earlier. It's all about those Vedas, yoga, and karma stuff. Pure classic.

Animism - Way back before anything was written down, people were all about that spirit life, thinking everything in nature’s got a spirit. Trees, rocks, rivers – you name it, they worshipped it. OG nature gains.

Shamanism - Not just a religion, but a way of life. Shamans were like the ancient personal trainers for the soul, guiding peeps through spiritual worlds and helping them connect with nature and ancestors.

Ancient Egyptian Religion - These dudes were ahead of their time, worshiping gods for everything – sun, sky, the dead. Plus, they built pyramids, which are kinda like the ultimate deadlifts of ancient architecture.

So there you have it, bro. Some of the heaviest hitters from the early days of the spiritual grind. Keep pumpin’ that historical iron!
