It was started by Zoroaster. Really, it was. He said that after you died, 2 armies, good and evil, fought for possession of your soul.

1.An Iranian religion, founded c600 b.c. by Zoroaster, the principal beliefs of which are in the existence of a supreme deity, Ahura Mazda, and in a cosmic struggle between a spirit of good, Spenta Mainyu, and a spirit of evil, Angra Mainyu.

2.The religious system founded by Zoroaster and set forth in the Avesta, teaching the worship of Ahura Mazda in the context of a universal struggle between the forces of light and of darkness.

3.System of religion founded in Persia in the 6Th century BC by Zoroaster; set forth in the Zend-Avesta; based on concept of struggle between light (good) and dark (evil)

Jayden's answer is good, in my opinion, Christians "borrowed" many ideas from Zoroaster.

Zoroastrianism was founded by the Persian Prophet Zarathustra(Latinized: Zoroaster).

He preached that there was Only One God, Who Is All Good, & human beings, should likewise, also be all good, otherwise they would be Damned to Hell to be with the god of evil.

Basically, Zoroastrian belief is the same as Christian & Muslim: they believe in God vs the Devil.

The Magi who visited the Baby Jesus were believed to have been Zoroastrian.

The Sacred Scripture of Zoroastrianism is called the Zend Avesta.

Persecutions by Islamic armies forced most Zoroastrians to flee their native Persia & go to India, where most of them today are called 'Parsees.'

Today, there is only less than 1 million Zoroastrians in the world.

Zoroastrians do not accept converts to their faith.
