The main monotheistic religions Christianity, Judaism, and Islam have drawn many of their qualities from Zoroastrianism. The concepts of Heaven v Hell, angels, demons, a single god (Ahura Mazda) fighting his evil counterpart (Ahriman). The idea of living a righteous life and the concept of being judged at the end of days are all Zoroastrian concepts taken and spun by the prophets of other religions. The 3 wise kings were Zoroastrians. They were considered Magi, which is a Greek word for a Zoroastrian priest.
