      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

      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.

    Where do they cook up these numbers? I can never find a source, and whenever I bring that up they always say that the IRI is censoring it.

    I don’t mean to be one of those people, but can we start mandating Intro to Logic for all religious people? At least the Christians because it’s annoying when they say this shit.
