It actually traces back to ancient sun and moon worship.

Some but not all. Many of the tenets in Zoroastrianism are similar to some New Age thinking, but I do not agree with many other of their beliefs.

i actually think so
Zoroastrianism was the first to have a dual relationship of gods being
one bad
one good
you lived for one and not the other and you choose which you would
and they knew that the good one would eventually win
sounds alto like Christianity
perhaps a little inspiration for Jesus?

Other than the fact that some of their fire temples looked a bit like a traditional Muslim masque... no.

Humans have always believed in "good vs evil" Zoroastrianism is just one of the earlier ones on the scene.
