Doesn't matter when Zoroaster lived and started his religion, the issue is when it became the Persian state religion. There's no evidence the religion immediately was so accepted. As I've pointed out the Persians of Cyrus time were closer to the Vedic religion that developed into Hinduism. Zoroastrianism became their state religion during Sassanian times. Since we don't have originals of whatever Zoroaster wrote or taught, we don't know that the religions beliefs weren't shaped by exposure to Judaism or Christianity.
