Zoroastrianism | Vibepedia

Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest continuously practiced religions, traces its roots to the prophet Zarathustra (Zoroaster) in ancient Iran, likely between 1500 and 1000 BCE. It centers on the worship of Ahura Mazda, the "Wise Lord," and emphasizes a cosmic struggle between good (Asha) and evil (Druj). Key tenets include free will, ethical conduct, environmental stewardship, and the eventual triumph of good. Despite a historical peak influencing major world religions, its modern adherents number fewer than 200,000 globally, primarily in India (Parsis) and Iran, facing challenges of assimilation and demographic decline.
