Some say the Zoroastrian faith is much older than both Judaism and Christianity.

It is possible that the idea of cosmic dualism was inherited from Zoroastrianism via Prue-Christian Judaism. Other than that, there probably isn't much of a connection.

Zoroastrianism is older than Christianity, but younger than Judaism.

Both came up with the view of the world as a battle between good and evil. Zoroastrianism came before Christianity but that does not mean that it was copied by Christians. It could mean that that view is the correct one.
