And where would the Church of the Martyrs be today if they had not found favour with the Empire? Perhaps we should consider where the ancient and once thriving faith of the Zoroastrians stands today...what became of it when when their political support was destroyed...

The decline of the Zoroastrians came when it HAD political support.  Armenian converted to Orthodox Christianity, the Iraqi  heartland was Christian, Orthodox and otherwise, and the Iranian highlands were succuming to Christianity, Manichaeism and Buddhism.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;

I am a pagan.
"Pagan" comes from the Latin "pagani" meaning "rural, village"- and I live in a mountain village. The Latin word "pagani" was a way of putting down non-Christians by associating their beliefs with the rural peasants (unlike the sophisticated urbanized Christians).
