Zoroastrianism differed from previous religions in that it introduced a concrete morality. It is thought that this was the first known religion to speak of good and evil and the struggle between the two.

Zoroastrianism, in actuality has similarities to many religions out there. Zoroaster himself is similar to Jesus in the sense that he was born to a virgin in a flash of light and began teaching the religion to the world. But if you want to know differences you could say that the one main difference is the burial practices of Zoroaster's. When one dies they are taken to the desert and placed in a dakhma (a cement bowl shaped apparatus with a small hole in the middle) this is were the person is left to the elements and nature where eventually the bones of the person are swept into the centre of this object. They act can only be prepared by a person not of the Zoroastrianism faith.
