If the creator is one God, why are there many religions?
And if the religion of God is one, why are there different prophets and legislations?
====================
Because every prophet was only sent to his people during his life, when he dies and his people or other people need a prophet, God sends them another prophet to call them to the religion of God. So sometimes, we see more than one prophet at the same time, because every prophet is only sent to his people. The religion of all prophets and apostles is the religion of Islam, God says:
3-19 "The religion before God is Islam (submission to His will)".
Different names of religions happened by those people not by God, e.g. the Jews called their religion this name, God says:
7-156 "For we have turned unto You,"
I.e. we got back to you, after their repentance when God pardoned them.
Christian people called themselves Nasara, they attributed it to Nasera, the place where Jesus was born, God says:
5-82 "Those who said: We are Christians".
Some of them called it Christianity (Maseeheya) attributing it to Jesus the Christ (Maseeh). God tells us in Qur'an that previous prophets like Abraham and his sons used to call to Islam, God says:
2-132 "And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob: Oh my sons! God has chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam".
Legislations used to come to the people of every age according to their needs to organize their lives.
