The time that a religion "equates" its beginnings to doesn't really matter. If I were going to start a religion I'd "equate" it to just a bit earlier than any other religion. I'm talking about when the Jews actually started writing about and establishing their religion. I believe it was about 500 BC. Wasn't that the time of their Babylonian captivity? Religions don't start until people start putting it down on paper or papyrus or stone tablets. Until THEN you don't know that there is actually anything to believe in. When Christianity began it had about 20-100 people maybe that thought Jesus was somebody. When his brother James took over they may have gotten to a couple thousand thanks to Paul of Tarsis and his followers. Paul was the guy that actually STARTED Christianity. Paul could write and had a personality which apparently Jesus and his few followers didn't.
