Zoroastrianism was different from most other ancient religions because it was a form of monotheism, centered around the worship of a single god, Ahura Mazda. Unlike polytheistic religions that worshipped multiple gods and deities, Zoroastrianism emphasized the duality of good and evil, with a clear moral framework guiding followers. This focus on ethical choice and the battle between light and darkness set it apart from many contemporaneous belief systems. Additionally, Zoroastrianism introduced concepts such as judgment after death and the eventual triumph of good, influencing later religious traditions.

Ancient Zoroastrianism was important because of its influence on Judaism and Christianity. The modern concepts of Satan, angels, guardian angels (Catholic), heaven and hell,a saviour (Saoshyant) who will lead humanity in the last battle against evil, all appear to have originated in Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrians believed that the Saoshyant would be born by virgin birth. Even the first century Judaic practice of burial seems to have been based on Zoroastrian thinking.

Thousands, perhaps millions. It would be impossible to count. For one thing, the difference between "religion" and "denomination" is fuzzy. Is Animism a religion, or is every different form of Animism a different religion? Would you say the Ancient Greek religion was the same as the Ancient Roman because they shared most of the gods? Or would you allow for the local differences from city to city as "different religions"? There are many defunct religions that are no longer practised. We couldn't possibly count how many of those there were, particularly those that died out before the invention of writing.
