Chapter 42 Verse 13 from the Holy Quran states the religion of Jesus, Moses and other prophets (peace be upon them all).
The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the way to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn to Him.

@scot, actually he was referred to the religions brought down by God.
Those that share the same prophets, story, and show prayer to God.
There are other religions of course but they are not the same as the relation between Judism, Christianity, and Islam.

Now we as Muslims know there were many prophets but not all of them were mentioned in the Quran. If we believe christians are wrong for believing that Jesus is the son of God, as he was a prophet I don't see why many of the eastern religions might have originated from prophets we weren't told about. Most of the stories in the Quran are about nations and prophets more or less in the Middle East but we believe there were messengers sent to all people. Obviousely far eastern religions are quite a lot older than Judism.

you misunderstand.
Even if they did believe in prophets that we didn't know about, the final outcome would have to prove that they believe in the same God that we do.
It can be safe to assume that a religion that believes in multiple Gods is not one brought down by our God for example.
I know that there are prophets that we probably dont know about, thats why I made the point that there are a great number of religions brought down by God. To show that there are some that we dont know about.

Chapter 6 Verses 84-87 from The Holy Quran states:
We gave him Isaac and Jacob: all three guided: and before him, We guided Noah, and among his progeny, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron: thus do We reward those who do good.
And Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias, all in the ranks of the righteous.
And Isma'il and Elisha, and Jonas, and Lot: and to all We gave favour above the nations.
To them and to their fathers, and progeny and brethren: We chose them, and we guided them to a straight way.

Jesus (peace be on him) was the second-last prophet of God. He foretold the coming of the last Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him). While the mission of the earlier messengers was generally limited to their own communities, prophet Muhammad's message and mission is universal and timeless till the end of this world.
Belief in Islam means
Belief in One God
belief in all of God's messengers
belief in all the books sent down to prophets of God. These books include Torah and Gospel. Only the Holy Quran exists in its original form.
belief in the existence of angels.
belief in the Day of Judgement, Life after Death, Heaven and Hell.
belief in the Divine Decree or Predestination, its good and its bad.
Muslims are those who declare that there is no deity except Allah and that Muhammad (pbuh) is His messenger. They submit fully in obedience to Allah and mould their lives according to the teachings of the Holy Quran and prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

I didn't say that the eastern religions were started by prophets. I'm only saying it could be a possibility, but I couldn't actually say so because the Quran doesn't mention them. The only time when we'll find out is on judgment day. The total number of prophets are thought to be over 400,000 and the Quran of course doesn't mention that many.
Humans took up worshiping idols pretty quikly, so a relegion beginning correcly and then deviating from the true path is not unlikely. Look how long it took Bani-israil to start worshiping an idol of a calf after Musa left them, yes they repented when Musa returned, but it still proves if the people's faith isn't strong they easily turn away from the true path.
I'm not trying to prove any eastern religions were started by a prophet, I'm just saying it could have happened.
