The prose for this article is not always clear and concise, and large chunks of this article are left uncited. Therefore, I believe delisting this article should be considered. 777burger 03:31, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Persian vs Iranian

Isn't Zoroastrianism of Persian origin? Jei tii (talk) 08:20, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Persia is another name for Iran. Remsense ‥  08:26, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Mazdaism

We believe in ahura Mazda as god not Zoroaster so use Mazdaism to show who we are and who our god is 2404:3100:1408:ADAE:F72A:8959:AE4F:CEBD (talk) 18:38, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

The common name in English is Zoroastrianism. Per WP:COMMONNAME, it should stay as is. Mazdaism is mentioned in the etymology section. Snowman304|talk 20:39, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Wrong information

“Zoroastrianism is sometimes credited with being the first monotheistic religion in history, antedating the Israelites”

Isrraelites are much older and also this ignores back to Abraham and before. Noah. Abel etc 72.92.45.87 (talk) 01:09, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Those are mythological characters. The Book of Genesis has no claim to historicity. Moses is just as much of a fairy tale character as Abraham. Dimadick (talk) 06:16, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
