'''Zoroastrianism''' is a monotheistic religion founded by [[Zoroaster]] (or Zarathustra) in what is now [[Iran]]. It describes life as a struggle between good and evil with the expectation that good will ultimately prevail. The central divine being is called ''Ahura Mazda'' and was associated by Zoroaster to the idea of a creator of all, who had not been created himself. The sacred text is called [[Zend Avesta]].
