I thought that Islam pretty much wiped out Zoroastrianism --- how many people still follow this? I read somewhere on FR that the 3 magis were Zoroastrians --- I thought that was pretty interesting.

      Adherents.com estimates a few hundred thousand worldwide.  Used to work with a Zoroastrian of Persian ancestry, from Pakistan.  Not that I agree with their theology, but ethically, Zoroastrianism sure seems to beat the "religion of peace" that did nearly wipe them out.
