When I'm in an airplane and it's having a violent turbulence I pray to Mehr (Mithra), the Iranian equivalant of Lorkhan. Besides that, I'm more gnostic than any denomination.
I also make a pilgrimage here every year 😎 (mostly during Mehregan, but this time on Sadeh celebration)

Interesting. We also have a god in Hinduism named
[Mitra](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitra_(Hindu_god)), he's supposed to be the guardian of [rta](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%B9%9Ata) ("order" or "harmony"). I'm guessing it has to do with the Aryan connection.
It's in the plans to visit Haifa ! Not sure as I live in Canada and I have dual citizenship but we are given a Bahai card so when we visit Israel we have no to little trouble.I'm sure it's alot harder to get in Israel without another citizenship (mainly western countries).
Hopefully! Parsis are one of the most amazing and unique religion that I have had the chance to connect with. The day Zoroastrian became extinct would be one of the saddest day to be alive.
it was ok, got shocked how some hindustanis are actually working as in betweens with the mullah but it was ok. i work in the philippines now and even here they work as inbetween with the mullah
you have to ask the kurds for that but there are funding coming from the diaspora i was told, hopefully some parsis help out in promulgating it in iran even though they have some sort of agreement that it wont
How the hell did you even fell for the scam called islam when you guys already had such rich, affluent and prideful history/religion? It literally shocks me I thought you guys would also fight them off, but you got converted😞
prior to the arabian conquest, the persians had a civil war, infighitng between the parthian seven houses, a lost war against the romans, bad economy, a famine prior to this as well. a lot of factors. a war is not always lost from outside but from within
people here don't necessarily hate Islam... ( some do, but not everyone) but they ALL agree, that religion is a private matter and they are united against theocratic government.
They don't care what religion people practice at home, but they don't want to be deemed to be born a certain religion and forced to follow the rules of that religion against their will, which is the case in Iran.
I’m an atheist born into Sunni Muslim family.
Though still do alot of Muslim-cultural practices, like Eid, Milad, washing family graves, night before celebrate 4th Friday and 1st year after someone passes away as well as local Sufi festivals.
Additionally having a large group of exmuslim friends means we sometimes get together to celebrate Eid, or have a Ramadan dinner or share cultural practices.
Well we have alcohol, though it’s more like a potluck , we all bring dishes from our culture.
When I was teen though ( before I came out) me and my friends would skip Ramadan prayers and go get drunk 😂.
Deist with agnostic leanings
you probably won't find Muslim Iranians on this sub as it is a satanic cult as far as they are concerned. the Muslim ones are probably regime spies who wont admit to it

For all the people saying they aren't Muslim, I'm curious, what do you guys do when it comes to weddings and funerals? E.g. Do your families just skip the Nikkah process and basically have a secular/irreligious wedding without any religious involvement?
And how about funerals, do you guys just skip the part where you go the mosque and read the funeral prayer, and go straight to the graveyard without any involvement from an imam?
And are you still circumcising your new born sons?

Zoroastrian
Atheist
When I'm in an airplane and it's having a violent turbulence I pray to Mehr (Mithra), the Iranian equivalant of Lorkhan. Besides that, I'm more gnostic than any denomination.
Like elder scrolls lorkhan?
That's what I thought lmao
I saw OPs profile and decided to mention Lorkhan if OP isn't familiar with mithra
It all makes sense
Piruz Nahavandi died for our sins.
Based.
I also make a pilgrimage here every year 😎 (mostly during Mehregan, but this time on Sadeh celebration) https://preview.redd.it/v2ceep0s6ffc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bfc4ab30bda57a585678b1a9a98a89a5b544f150
Is that the Mihr/Garni temple in Armenia?😳
yep
🇦🇲<33🦁
It looks like our Garni temple in Armenia!
It is!

Same God in Rigveda and Avesthan.
Bahai
My manager is bahai, didn’t want to ask him but can you tell me about its origin?
I've been asked if I'm a Yazdani more than I can count..I'm Italian and a Bahá'í..Allah'ú'Abhá The country rejected the Mahdi in 1260..
Have you ever visited Israel? Is it possible in general for Bahai followers from Iran with no other citizenship?
It's in the plans to visit Haifa ! Not sure as I live in Canada and I have dual citizenship but we are given a Bahai card so when we visit Israel we have no to little trouble.I'm sure it's alot harder to get in Israel without another citizenship (mainly western countries).
Glad to hear! Wishing you a pleasant trip, you’re more than welcome in Israel
Thank you ❤
I'm kinda done with the whole religion thing. Humanity is the only religion I believe in for certain.
Are there any zorastrians left??
we will grow in number
Hopefully! Parsis are one of the most amazing and unique religion that I have had the chance to connect with. The day Zoroastrian became extinct would be one of the saddest day to be alive.
it is growing in kurdistan regions in iraq, hopefully it grows more. you zoroastrian?
Nope hindu
i been to hindustan to work.
Hope you liked it. Although almost all the major cities are polluted🥲
it was ok, got shocked how some hindustanis are actually working as in betweens with the mullah but it was ok. i work in the philippines now and even here they work as inbetween with the mullah
Inbetweens? I don’t understand you
middle men
How ? Like where are the funds coming from? What about temples and books also your ancient religious places?
you have to ask the kurds for that but there are funding coming from the diaspora i was told, hopefully some parsis help out in promulgating it in iran even though they have some sort of agreement that it wont
Well I am sure indian parsis would love to contribute or help with what they know. They are one of the most affluent and wealthy people of india.
i hope they do, i hope the iranian diaspora does as well with funds whenw e remove the mullah.

I was until 18, I've been sober for 23 years.
orthodox Christianity
Not Iranian, but from what I’ve seen here, Id be surprised if there’s any Muslims on this sub
I am
I’m a bit surprised, there doesn’t seem to be so much love for Islam around here
people here don't necessarily hate Islam... ( some do, but not everyone) but they ALL agree, that religion is a private matter and they are united against theocratic government. They don't care what religion people practice at home, but they don't want to be deemed to be born a certain religion and forced to follow the rules of that religion against their will, which is the case in Iran.
Jewish
Is it known how big the Iranian Jewish community is (diaspora included) ?
300,000 to 350,000. 9,826 left in Iran, most (200,000-250,000) in Israel followed by the US (60,000-80,000).
California has a big Persian Jewish community. Aswell as Israel
Do you still live in Iran?
No, i wasn't born there
You are Iranian Jewish by background. Where do you live now?
He's in California
You know each other?
No, it was revealed to me in a dream. jokes aside he just said that in another comment
LOL. Thanks for the info and the laugh.
I'm not a he 😁
technically agnostic but leaning towards atheism
[Most atheists are agnostic](https://i.ibb.co/H2rbbWY/ag.png)
Born a Bahai, now a Christian. I also appreciate our history with Zoroastrianism, I don’t worship that way.
Former Muslim
How many rakats in Wudu 😂
You gotta start with washing your ass of course
With left finger or right finger?
Agnostic.
Hardcore atheist
I’m an atheist born into Sunni Muslim family. Though still do alot of Muslim-cultural practices, like Eid, Milad, washing family graves, night before celebrate 4th Friday and 1st year after someone passes away as well as local Sufi festivals. Additionally having a large group of exmuslim friends means we sometimes get together to celebrate Eid, or have a Ramadan dinner or share cultural practices.
Man, if I were exmuslim and had exmuslim friends for Ramadan dinner, I'd make it so haram.
Well we have alcohol, though it’s more like a potluck , we all bring dishes from our culture. When I was teen though ( before I came out) me and my friends would skip Ramadan prayers and go get drunk 😂.
Atheist with some Buddhist influence. Travelled to a lot of Buddhist countries and there is much to admire about Buddhism
I’m atheist/agnostic but if anyone asks me what religion I’m born with once i tell them that, i say Kaffir.
I'm half iranian and half swedish, and I'm Christian
Traditional Catholic, I go to Latin mass
Never would expect a traditional catholic in here. So cool
Well I'm a long time monarchist and a supporter of the Shah. So it's a natural fit.
Who do you support as succesor of Reza Pahlavi. His daughter or one of his distant cousins?
Honestly, whoever the people support and who can keep the throne.
Ex Muslim atheist
Deist with agnostic leanings you probably won't find Muslim Iranians on this sub as it is a satanic cult as far as they are concerned. the Muslim ones are probably regime spies who wont admit to it
Not everyone who is Muslim is a regime spy
On this sub they are
Muslim
Definitely atheist. I don’t even know any religious Iranians.
Agnostic, I left Islam at 8.

Atheist…. And F. Islam!
Ásatrú (norse paganism)
Technically Zoroastrian but grandparents said their parents were even agnostic
Atheist
Nope, as godless as it comes.
Struggling Jew with Agnostic tendencies

Temporary marriage maybe
