This is a really a very serious question:why is Zoroastrianism, the 1ST monotheistic

LOOK, SO MANY SCHOLARS HAVE REALISED THAT IDEAS/BELIEFS FIRST PUT FORWARD BY ZARATHUSHTRA, FOUNDER OF ZOROASTRIANISM,AND THEN DEVELOPED BY HIS FOLLOWERS,IDEAS OF ONE SUPREME GOD,THE WISE CHOICE OF GOOD OVER EVIL IN ALL WE DO ARISING FROM THE PERSISTENT CONFLICT BETWEN THESE QUALITIES BOTH IN OUR SELVES AND AROUND US, THE FINAL TRUIMPH OF GOOD OVER EVIL AND THE END OF TIME, THE COMING OF A WORLD SAVIOUR THE SOSHYANT, IDEAS THAT PASSED ON TO THE JEWS DURING THEIR INTERACTION WITH THEIR IRANIAN RULERS AFTER THEIR BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY. CYRUS NOT ONLY FREED THE JEWS FROM BABYLON, BUT HELPED THEM REBUILD THEIR TEMPLE, AND DANIEL,EZRA AND NEHEMIAH, AUTHORS OF SECTIONS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, WERE INTIMATELY CONNECTED WITH THE PERSIAN COURT; THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS VERY STRONGLY ESPOUSE ZOROASTRIAN BELIEFS OF THE CONFLICT OF GOOD AND EVIL. JESUS ESPOUSED ZOROASTRIAN IDEAS WHEN HE SPOKE OF GOD BEING LOVE,HIS CLAIM OF BEING THE REDEEMER(ZARATHUSHTRA HAD SAID THE REDEEMER WOULD OF VIRGIN BIRTH!)
I have had 7 replies to my question;but real people? all my respondents use alias so I would never know them! Now, on the answers I received, I am not surprised that most know little on Zoroastrianism. A quick search on Google> search>Zoroastrianism would give over 700,000 sites to know on Zoroastrianism! Some answers suggest the media ignores Z because it does not have a respectable following or it is not the religion of any country, but then how does one explain the media's long and continuous exposure of ancient Egyptian religion and customs when not one single individual today a follower! Z does not evangelize, true; but so Judaism does not and it gets a goodly coverage on media! The best answer is from "heron by the", and it is significant that a religious study major includes Z in her curriculum. But the answer from Askeutichus needs some response:Mazda is a name given the Creator,the Creator of this universe! its not other way around that Yahweh is only true God!!

because HONESTLY no one cares or probably even knows what that is and that is no offense to you if you follow that religion

because it doesn't promote their agenda.

Because it is not the "traditional" religion of any country. What did you think people believe what they believe because it's true and god's word Lil! Pretty much traditions that's been past on I'm afraid.

There are only a few Zoroastrians in the world today, and I believe most of them are in India. In the West, there are not many at all. I have never personally met a Zoroastrian myself. My friend from Gujarat has met several. But in the West, chances are most people simply have never heard of it. And those who have, sometimes do not realize that there are still practicing Zoroastrians in the world.

I can tell you that as a religious studies major, Zoroastrianism is one of my favorite topics, because of its similarity to both Hinduism, and to the roots of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is an ancient and fascinating religion in its own right, and its connections to other religions make it a very important study.

Simply because Zoroastrians do not evangelize. No other reason.

maybe because they haven't heard of this "religion"...???

:}
because:
1. it was not the first but followed the Torah
2. most followers had denied it
3, it is not growing.
4. Mazda is no god at all
