Chapter 2 Verses 208 and 209 from the Holy Quran states:
O ye who believe! Enter into Islam whole-heartedly, and follow not the footsteps of the evil one, for he is to you an avowed enemy.
If ye backslide after the clear Signs have come to you, then know that Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.

then i guess we are talking about two different things.
Yes of course there were other religions.
But I'm talking about the fact that there are other religions acknowledged by our religion as being brought down by God.

@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.
I was under the impression that John Lennon was meaning all religions, not just the Judeo-Christian faiths. Perhaps someone more familiar with the song can clear this up for us.

Judaism is actually one of the world's oldest religions along with Hinduism.
Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism all originated sometime between 2,500 - 2,600 years ago. Hinduism is arguably the world's oldest religion, being at least 3,000 years old and possibly as much as 7,000 years old.
Judaism is around 4,000 years old.
The religions of the East differ from Western religions in that they tend to avoid dogmatic creeds and moral codes, which largely govern the Abrahamic religions. The Eastern religions tend to offer more universal truths, which serve as guidelines for one's life, and which remain open to interpretation.

Chapter 23 Verses 112-118 from The Holy Quran Allah states:
He will say: "What number of years did ye stay on earth?"
They will say: "We stayed a day or part of a day: but ask those who keep account."
He will say: "Ye stayed not but a little,- if ye had only known!
"Did ye then think that We had created you in jest, and that ye would not be brought back to Us for account?"
Therefore exalted be Allah, the King, the Reality: there is no god but He, the Lord of the Throne of Honour!
If anyone invokes, besides Allah, Any other god, he has no authority therefor; and his reckoning will be only with his Lord! and verily the Unbelievers will fail to win through!
So say: "O my Lord! grant Thou forgiveness and mercy for Thou art the Best of those who show mercy!"

Chapter 41 verse 33 states:
Who is better in speech than one who calls men to Allah, works righteousness, and says, "I am of those who bow in Islam"?

@Cenfi. I think I do too. He sang about no religion and one country. Nothing to live or die for . . . Etc etc a brotherhood of man etc etc. Now that would be a sort of heaven in itself wouldn't it? I find it hard to reconcile myself with any of the religions, especially when I have been brought up seeing how problematic the acceptance of other religions has been to some people. N. Ireland is a good example. Paganism sounds almost the better option to me at the moment. . .

Preaching tolerance and acceptance is one thing, but religions are not needed for that, people are. I find peace in Taoism because it stresses acceptance and compassion and one's own responsibilities. This life is just as important as what comes after it.

Chapter 17 Verses 82 and 83 from the Holy Quran states:
We send down stage by stage in the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe, to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss.
Yet when We bestow Our favours on man, he turns away and becomes remote on his side instead of coming to Us, and when evil seizes him he gives himself up to despair!
