Zoroastrianism is a religion that began with a philosopher known as Zarathustra, or Zoroaster, in ancient Persia. There are around 150,000 followers of Zoroastrianism today, mainly living in India and Iran. Like other monotheistic religions, Zoroastrianism asserts that there is one creator, God.

Zoroaster, or Zarathustra, taught about the Creator God, Ahura Mazda, meaning "Lord Wisdom." Polytheism, or the worship of many gods, was common in Persia during the time time of Zoroaster, who condemned this practice.

Zoroastrians follow the Zoroastrian religion founded by Zarathushtra in Persia c. 650 BCE. Their Holy Books are The Avesta and the Gathas (Hymns in Praise of Wisdom). Most Zoroastrians are now in India, having been displaced by Islam in their native Persia (Iran).
