    Yes, and it is still especially active in Iran and India.

    From author Richard Cavendish

    The principal religions of the world count their adherents in the millions, and on this scale it almost needs a microscope to see Zoroastrianism at all. There are about 100,000 Zoroastrians in India and Pakistan, where they are called Parsis. They do not accept converts and their numbers are steadily diminishing. There are also a few thousand Zoroastrians in Iran, and smaller communities in North America, Britain, East Africa and Hong Kong. Despite its comparative poverty in numbers, however, Zoroastrianism is enormously rich in ideas, which have had an influence far beyond its own ranks.

    Because of the influence it exerts, Zoroastrianism is still a religion to be reckoned with.

    Yes it is.

    It exists in the land of it's birth, Iraq-Afghanistan and it exists in India among the Parsis and it exists all around the rest of the world in both traditional forms and in more modern forms.

    Yes it is. To me it is the root of all religions and it is a shame that so few zoroastrians exist. Listening to Freddie Mercury's mother, she said that zoroastrianism is a celebration of life and I think that is wonderful.:)

    THough it is the smallest by number of followers, Zoroastrianism is still a world religion. It's worth looking up if you're interested.

    I've actually seen a Zoroastrian Temple in London. Of course I lived near a hugh Iranian population.
