Still being practiced?
Zoroastrianism came from pre-Zoroaster Mazdaism and is still practiced now.
Hinduism and it`s offshoot Buddhism continues to this day.
Judaism and the Abrahamics sort of branched off from Zoroastrianism too.
Mithraism owes it`s beginnings to it.
Christianity took a huge amount from Mithraism and Zoroastrianism, hence the Magi.
Pre Mazdaism there were many Pagan religions.
The latest?
Who knows what someone has invented recently?
Not an easy question to answer within the constraints of this forum.

No, but here are 5 of the ones you hear about most often, from oldest to newest.
Judaism - Basically classical Christianity. Worships Yahweh. Less hateful, at least the modern ones. Divided into two types. Orthodox and reform. Fran Drescher is a reform Jew. A normal person who identifies with Judaism, and worships Yahweh. Orthodox Jews are the ones who dress oddly, and are more judgmental. Lots more rules for them. A lot of people don't like them though. Holy book = Torah
Christianity - Worships God, who also takes the form of Jesus and a Holy Ghost. All nonbelievers burn in hell eternally regardless of how good of people they are. Their holy book promotes slavery, murder, sexism, racism, etc etc. Holy book = Bible
Islam - Same as the above, but worships Allah, not Jesus. Generally more peaceful, but more crazy extremists. Holy book= Quran
Witchcraft/Wicca - Worships MANY gods, too many to list. Believe in the five elements, water, fire, earth, air, spirit. VERY peaceful. Their morals include basically, "If it doesn't do any harm, you can do it." NOT a group of crazy satan-worshipping revenge freaks at all. Nice, nice people. No holy book. perform spells.
Satanism - Don't believe in god or Satan. Worship Satan, but only figuratively. Basically Satan is the strong part of yourself that you turn to in times of trouble. Ritual, magic, and ceremony of three types, compassion, destructive, and lust are very important, but are basically more like meditation, as they aren't ACTUALLY classical magic like in Witchcraft. Holy book = The Satanic Bible.

The chart I have on my wall has lots of colorful strings and pins and labels.
It starts somewhere on the bottom left with a picture of a rock. The first god. The sun is above the rock. It goes from there, and then there are lots of branches and branches. Closing into the right hand side, you have religions like Islam, Mormon, Wicca, Scientology, Pastafarianism, and Cowism.
