WORLD RELIGIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Beliefs. At its core, Zoroastrianism emphasizes a never-ending battle between good and evil-a contest between the religion’s God, Ahura Mazda, and an evil spirit, Ahriman. Believers have the freedom to make good or bad choices; they were exhorted by Zoroaster to think good thoughts, say good words and do good deeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike some religions where man is God’s child or servant, in Zoroastrianism man is considered more as God’s helper. Through man’s positive choices, evil will be eradicated and God’s Paradise on Earth will be established. Men and women, rich and poor, and young and old are all seen as equal.
