This AP News article from 1 July 2022 describes some of the challenges facing Zoroastrians today. Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest religious groups, but despite its historic past, its future is highly uncertain. The religious group has only about 125,000 members worldwide, and its prospects for growth are grim. It does not conduct missionary work, and it has only limited retention of children -- in part because children of mixed-faith marriages are not considered Zoroastrians.
The future of Zoroastrianism will be one of the discussion topics at the upcoming World Zoroastrian Conference 2022 held in New York City this weekend.
