1. Zoroastrianism is a religious denomination of the primitive sort. they have a duality of Gods, AhuraMazda ( from which Mazda car name may be derived) and Ahriman, the Devil concept. It is assumed both Gods have equal powers, thus explaining the existence of Evil in the world. Solar and also Fire worship are factored in to this ancient religion. Mithraism and Manichaeism were somewhat Christianized (the latter one) variants in the Middle ages. these are extinct. Zoroastrianism is still intact.
2. Zoroastrianism is an ancient Persian religion that was the first to teach monotheism.
From New World Encyclopedia:
"Due to its great antiquity, Zoroastrianism was tremendously influential on the history, culture, and art of Persia, as well as on the development of the Abrahamic religions. According to scholars, Zoroastrianism was the first religion to believe in angels, a day of judgment, a Satan figure, and an ongoing battle between forces of light and darkness in the cosmos. These ideas later influenced the theological development of Judaism (and by extension, Christianity and Islam)."
The low number of remaining Zoroastrians in the world is due not only to its antiquity but also to centuries of Islamic suppression, ranging from forced conversions to executions. The majority of Zoroastrians now live in India where they may practice without harrassment.
