The timeline of religion is a chronological catalog of important and noteworthy religious events in prehistoric and modern times. This article reaches extensively into prehistoric times, as the bulk of the human religious experience is not relegated to written history. Written history is only approximately 5000 years old (the age of formal writing). A lack of written records is that much knowledge of prehistoric religion is derived from archaeological records, other indirect sources, and suppositions. Much of religious prehistory is subject to continued debate.

Famous quotes containing the word religion:
“Is there any religion but this, to know, that, wherever in the wide desert of being, the holy sentiment we cherish has opened into a flower, it blooms for me? If none sees it, I see it; I am aware, if I alone, of the greatness of the fact. Whilst it blooms, I will keep sabbath or holy time, and suspend my gloom, and my folly and jokes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
