Persian prophet Mani, also Manes, founded Manichaeism, his religious movement, a rival to early Christianity, which professed the world as a fusion of the equal but opposite forces of good and evil.

The Persian prophet Mani taught Manichaeism, also Manichaeanism, the syncretic, dualistic religious philosophy, combining elements of Zoroastrian and Gnostic thought; the imperial Roman government, Neoplatonist philosophers, and orthodox Christians opposed it.

Early church father and philosopher Saint Augustine argued against Manichaeism.
