He didn't support any religion; he had a tolerance policy regarding those he conquered and allowed them to follow any religion they chose. He did this so the people would be satisfied under his rule and not revolt.
Answer2: The indications are that the kings of Medo-Persian Empire were Zoroastrians. While it cannot be proved or disproved that Cyrus the Great adhered to the teachings of Zoroaster, from the time of Darius I the inscriptions of the monarchs repeatedly refer to Ahura Madza, the principal deity of Zoroastrianism. Darius I referred to Ahura Mazda as the creator of heaven, earth and man and he looked to this god as the one who had bestowed upon him wisdom, physical skillfulness and the kingdom.
