Hi, welcome to the Zoroastrianism WikiProject. This is a place for those interested in Zoroastrianism to come together to expand knowledge on it.

This is the religion of the Prophet Zarathushtra, and followed by adherants mainly in India and Iran. It is also known as the Good Religion.

This page will provide ideas and suggestions on what to write, and hopefully, to start organizing Zoroastrian related articles in a manner similar to the other religions; complete with sidebars, footers, etc.
