no.
It was a religion once upon a time when Zoroastrians were plentiful.

Although now, as its members number fewer than 100,000, it changes its classification from a 'religion' to a 'tribe'.

It's called the "World's Smallest Major Religion". Yes.

Yes. They were once plentiful in Persia (present day Iran) until the Muslims invaded and took over.

Yes, although it's slowly dieing out since they rarely accept converts.

Yes it is. It was a dualist religion reformed by the Prophet Zarathustra (Zoroaster in Greek) and became monotheist, and probably Prue-dates Judaism. It has beliefs in angels (Amesha Spentas). The supreme God is Ahura Mazda.

The late Freddie Mercury of Queen (born Farrokh Bulsara on Zanzibar) was from that religion.
