Endless quote tweets and responses just mindlessly agreeing. Quite baffling.

      yeah they are still around. one of my friends was Zoroastrian. thanks to people's interest in them they are not doing badly but they still face the difficulties minority religions in iran have, their membership is dwindling and when your ethnic-religious identity is wrapped up in fascist fantasies of pure aryanhood it tends to attract a certain type towards you.

          from people mimicking your prayers and customs in their weddings so that they can have "aryan" marriages to chud podcasters saying we should hang akhunds from every lamp post while your religious iconography is plastered all over the background, yeah it does suck.

          to a lesser extent this is also true about christians although that's mostly contained to people celebrating christmas outside of churches at 12 am and causing a ruckus lol.

      Regardless of active participation in the religion, Zoroastrianism has lasting effects on Iranian culture that people passively observe in the same way that Buddhism and Taoism remain relevant in China
