Answer 2

Zoroastrianism is based on the teachings of the prophet Zoroaster. Its main tenets include belief in Ahura Mazda as the supreme deity, the existence of cosmic dualism between forces of good (Spenta Mainyu) and evil (Angra Mainyu), the importance of free will to choose between good and evil, and the emphasis on ethical living through good thoughts, words, and deeds. Followers strive to uphold values such as truth, righteousness, and the battle against evil.

Answer 3

A:

The ancient Persians, followers of the Zoroastrian religion, belived that it did not matter what you called Ahuru Mazda, as long as you worshipped him. When they conquered the Babylonians, they let the captive peoples of other nations return to their homelands, particularly favouring the Jews and another ethnic group that was willing to adopt monotheism. Modern scholars continue to debate whether the Jews had already adopted monotheism at the time of the Exile, but the majority view is that they certainly held a monotheistic worldview by the time of the Return.

While we can not prove a direct link with Zoroastrianism, the Jews adopted many beliefs that parallelled ancient Zoroastrian beliefs and practices, such as belief in angels, an adversary to God, heaven as a place of reward and hell as place of punishment, although Judaism has since discarded belief in hell. The Persian kings financed the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem and had the Jews taught the Jewish religion, perhaps implying that the Jews were not entirely conversant with their own religion, or that the Persians wanted to be sure that future generations would hold appropriate religious beliefs.
