I ask a question regarding religion, someone answers the question, and asks another similar question, someone answers that question, and asks another, and so on.
Please do use some type of proof or sources in your answers.
These questions are not for any specific person from any specific religion.
OK, I’ll start.

Why does God keep making new religions? I understand that religious values deteriorate over time, but why does a whole new religion have to be started instead of just ‘refreshing’ old ones? **
Hmmm, interesting question, but God didn't make new religions, religion is same but religious values deteiorated over time and prophets were sent to recuperate.
I am sure people with better knowledge will correct me If I am wrong
Agree with that.. So far in my search for the truth, this is the only truth I have come to realize..o Well, there's still a lot to learn. Religion was a necessary evil in the old times, however; it no longer applies.
God never made a new religion. Islam is the same religion as the religion of Prophet Ibrahim .. people messed it up so Moses came to bring people back to the basic .. people messed it up again so Jesus came .. they messed it up one more time and then Prophet Mohammad came

You want us to provide sources yet you have provided none in your question. Yes, if we are required to respond with source then you too need to qualify your question.
1) You provide your source to me that demonstrates God keeps making new religions.
2) Why does a whole new religion have to be started? What is your source that God starts 'new' religions?
3) The basic gist of the question assumes that there is greater wisdom in refreshing old religions over replacing them with new ones - source?
If you want to see with source that Islam was cautioned to be given over to the Arabs after being taken away from the Jews, then read the account of the rejected stone in the New Testament. - There is your source and therein lies a wise way to answer your very question.
So you’re saying that Islam has been around for more than 3000 years, and there is no such thing as Judaism or Christianity? I thought Islam was started 1400 years ago.

It is obvious that God made new religions no? Please correct me if I'm wrong. First there was Judaism and the Torah, then Christianity and the Bible, then Islam and the Holy Quran. But what I'm trying to ask is why is there a need for different religions with different names. If God's teaching is everlasting for all of time, then why can't new prophets come and promote the same religion.
The problem is that morals deteriorate over time, so there is need for prophets, but why is there need for new religions? I'm not saying there is greater wisdom in refreshing old religions.
Religion is way of life as commanded by God/Allah/Supreme Being. We say islam is a way of life isn't it?
Yes the way of life, many religious acts and permissible/non-permissible acts did change over time.
Even basic and important pillars of islam did not exist (the way they are now) prior to the Prophet Muhammad SAW...let alone during his time many acts were changed/modified.
From Adam AS to the Prophet SAW, not all prophets brought same methods.
Examples:
1- Prayer Method (different from Jews)
2- kalma
3- Prayer direction
4- Alcohol
5- Zakat
6- Hajj and its methods? At least partially
7- Fasting for a month? at least partially
8- Marriage (method, number, etc.)
9- .............etc.
Muslims call it islam all the way from the time of Adam (AS). Yet no one can believe Muslims and understand muslim's point of view.
Now if Muslims really want to call Islam (which is fine) from beginning then only real thing which comes out here is....Believing in onness of God.
"Wahdaaniat" and accepting what is sent from above through his messangers at various times.
That is why, one is correct in saying that way of life as we see religion and its rules have been changed by Allah over time.
So you're saying that Islam has been around for more than 3000 years, and there is no such thing as Judaism or Christianity? I thought Islam was started 1400 years ago.
Judaism or Christianity in their pure form were no different then basic Islam. A different name does not make a religion, different. Why same god is going to send down different religion unless we think that God was doing trial and error.
