Zoroastrianism is said to have influenced Judaism and Christianity (probably Islam too), but I think the canon of its religious texts are quite far removed from both. It seems like one of the earliest religions to use the concept of 'free will' though which is interesting.

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.
