Zoroastrianism Community of Faith
In Zoroastrianism, there isn't a place that is routinely used. From 430 BC to the 5th century, there were no temples because they believed them to be folly. Now, Zoroastrians worship in places called fire temples. They are more shrine-like than congregational meeting places. There is a continuous fire going and signifies that the presence of Ahura Mazda. The ceremony is lead by a Zoroastrian priest called a mobed. There is no tradition of celibacy or monasticism.
