Default Is Zoroastrianism a monotheistic or polytheistic religion?

There seem to be a number of minor deities in it, but I was under the impression it was a monotheistic religion....?
Why monotheistic?

The term Zoroastrianism is in general usage, essentially synonymous with Mazdaism, i.e., the worship of Ahura Mazda, exalted by Zoroaster as the supreme divine authority.Monotheistic most definitely!

Why, because, Ahura Mazda is the Avestan language name for a divinity exalted by Zoroaster as the one uncreated Creator, hence God.

Those "minor deities" are essentially the equivalent/precursors of angels and demons.
