Religious Direction of our nation

While the dominant religion of the Persian regions has been Sunni, a strong movement for the Shia belief and the Twelvers can be found here. The Safavid Order in particular is more than interested to spread the Shia faith and convert the heretic Sunni to their views.\n\nIn the midst of these two heresies fighting for dominance, there are also a few Zoroastrians left. They are members of an ancient religion that dominated Persian history prior to the Muslim conquest of the Middle East but are now a shadow of their former selves as they are mostly a minority in our state.\n\nNo matter what religious path our country will set, we will shape the history and the beliefs of this region for the centuries to come.
