Many simply do not believe in religions , just in God. Some that want to or need a religion ( very small minority) convert to Christianity. Many simply respect and follow Zoroastrianism as an old Persian religion, without converting as Zoroastrians. Persians were Zoroastrian before Arabs attacked and invaded Iran and imposed Islam. Iranians, majority love and consider Zoroastrianism as their ancestors ' religion. For some reason that fear of Iranian regime is one major reason among others, Zoroastrians do not open the doors of their churches to people from other religions. If they did, young Iranians especially would convert to Zoroastrianism. Again majority of us, we simply do not believe in religions especially structured religions. Many that I know including myself, we meditate and believe in God/ creator but do not practice any religions.

Watergate was unimportant, especially compared to the corruption and fraud today. The 1960 election was stolen from Nixon by the Kennedys and their family's organized crime associates in Chicago. It was Senate Republicans who came to Nixon and said he had to resign or they would vote to impeach him, the Democrats didn't have to do anything. So, just like today, the Republican party does the dirty work for their DNC friends at the same time they pretend to oppose them.

After the revolution, then the death to American the great Satan got picked up in the news and hey if they hate us that much, then we can hate them back. There us a vert interesting set if videos made by an Iranian about Iranian ourstory, and one of the things it points out is that Iran has a very diverse ethnic population with different languages, cultures, and religions. I don't remember what the percentage of Muslims was reported to be, but I think it was very low, yet they are running the country like dictators. Whether the Iranian people wanted the Mullahs, or just didn't understand what they were in for, or were afraid to fight a civil war, we see how it ended up to the hot mess that it is today.
