Zoroastrianism has one true god - Ahura Mazda ("Wise Lord"). It also has Angra Mainyu, or Ahriman, the equivalent to the Christian Satan. It has seven Amesha Spenta, who are lesser beings considered equivalent to the seven postexilic Judaic archangels. The most important of these lesser beings, Mithra, was adopted by the Roman Empire as a god in his own right, Mithras.
