I find out that both Moslem, Christian, and Jew have similar history. So I assume there was a one single religion in the past but somehow it split to our current religion. But this is merely my opinion.

You're not wrong; all westernized religions that originated in the Middle East/India all borrowed stories, rules, figures, and other aspects from eachother. Judaism borrowed the story about Noah's Ark from Zorastianism, for example (The Epic of Gilgamesh). Remember how Jesus was said to travel around a lot? It is theorized that he met figures such as Siddartha Guatama (founder of Buddhism) on his travels and the two had some nice sit-down chats. Can provide more examples if needed.

I don't think that Judaism borrorwing a story is the only explanation. There's basically 2 explanations, one assuming it is true and one assuming it is false. The one assuming it is false would say that they were copied, and the one assuming it is true would say that a world-wide flood happened, and the story was passed down through generations, and eventually the stories changed, like the telephone game.
