Zoroastrianism

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

originating from the teachings of zoroaster in about the 9th or 10th century b.C., zoroastrianism may be the oldest continuing creedal religion. Its key beliefs center on a transcendent creator god, ahura mazda, and the concept of free will. The key ethical tenets of zoroastrianism expressed in its scripture, the avesta, are based on a dualistic worldview where one may prevent chaos if one chooses to serve god and exercises good thoughts, good words, and good deeds. Zoroastrianism is generally a closed religion and members are almost always born to zoroastrian parents. Prior to the spread of islam, zoroastrianism dominated greater iran. Today, though a minority, zoroastrians remain primarily in iran, india (where they are known as parsi), and pakistan.
