How is Zoroastrianism similar to Buddhism?

Aside from the fact that it originated in a similar geographis region there is not a lot of simiaraisty between Zoroastrianism and Buddhism. It has more in common with the Abrahamic religions than Buddhism/ Like almost all religions and philosophy, Zoroastrianism supports being "good" rather than "evil" as a general direction for it's followers. Zoroastrianism is a deity based religion with a good and evil god (Ahura Mazda and Ahriman) Buddhism has no controlling deity requiring worship or obedience, Zoroastrianism has a creation story, Buddhists neither know or care how existence came into being in part because the search is pointless and secondly because the physical world I an illusionThere is a moral code rather than the suggestians of the Eightfold PathDamnation and salvation are doled out by the deity, In Buddhism ever person finds his own way to enlightenmentZoroastrianism has no reincarnationZoroastrianism prescribes ritual clothing like Judaism, Buddhism has no position on this.
