Though we can trace it's course very far, Hinduism is the oldest of the great religions.  
Rather than a single doctrine or a single system of worship it is a broad confluence of ideas and attitudes.

HINDUISM

Hinduism has grown to become the world's third largest religion, after Christianity and Islam. It claims about 762 million followers - 13% of the world's population. It is the dominant religion in India, Nepal, and among the Tamils in Sri Lanka. According to the "Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches," there are about 1.1 million Hindus in the U.S. The "American Religious Identification Survey" is believed to be more accurate.  They estimated smaller number: 766,000 Hindus in 2001. Still, this is a very significant increase from 227,000 in 1990. Statistics Canada estimates that there are about 157,015 Hindus in Canada. 
Religions which recognize the existence of multiple deities have traditionally been among the world's most religiously tolerant. Hinduism remains arguably one of the most tolerant of such religions. However, during the past few years, a Hindu nationalistic political party has controlled the government of India. The linkage of religion, the federal government and nationalism has led to a recent degeneration in the separation of church and state in India. This, in turn, has decreased the level of religious tolerance in that country. The escalation of anti-Christian violence is one manifestation of this linkage. 
Hinduism is generally regarded as the world's oldest organized religion.

As Hinduism progresses great tributary streams flow into it. Four are of special importance: the ancient Yoga tradition with the Sankhya philosophy to which it is linked; the Vendanta, the 'way of knowledge', stemming from the Upanishadic sages; the great Bhakti or devotional movement; and finally the Tantric tradition, with its emphasis upon the 'feminine' aspect of reality. These four elements, interacting with one another and woven together with the Vedic core, are the basis of Hinduism and the images that surround it

Kali

Unlike much Western mythology, Hinduism at all times has recognized the feminine principle, most prominently in the form of consort to Shiva or Shiva-Shakti. The male power, is useless without this energizing female power, conceived of in its benign form as Paravati, and in its fierce or destructive form as Kali. In this terrifying aspect, the goddess drips blood from her devouring mouth, and her huge sword has beheaded the demon Ignorance, while her other two hands signify the blessing implied by this spiritual deed.
