A:Zoroastrianism, like all religions, evolved in all directions from time to time, but was generally a monotheistic religion, with Ahura Mazda ('Wise Lord') is its god. Mithra was the most powerful spirit, apparently originally a lesser god, but by the time of the Persian conquest of Babylon, more comparable to the Judeo-Christian archangels of later times, possibly the model for the archangel Michael.

Mithraism apparently arose in Asia Minor in the Parthian era, with the god Mithras and largely based on Zorastrianism, but with non-Iranian elements. Mithraism proselytised vigorously to the west, but appears to have been unsuccesful to the east and so should not be confused with Zoroastrianism.
