Zoroastrianism
Zoroastrianism was probably the first religion to have one God, called Ahura Mazda. He created a good world made of seven things, which were sky, water, earth, plants, cattle, humans, and fire.
There are around 7,000 Zoroastrians in the UK, and a strong Zoroastrian community in Tower Hamlets. They believe that if they think good thoughts, they speak good words and do good deeds.
