I asked a genuine question and had replies that ignored the question I asked and insulted me and said my question was stupid. My reply telling them to stop being rude and answer the question if they want to comment was removed by the mods.

    I mean, the problem isn’t that OP’s question was stupid. The problem is that it is rude to question people’s religious practices.

        people who claim veganism is a religion do so in blind belief to dismiss it as irrational to avoid going over the moral and factual arguments it presents, most vegans became one due to evidence be that a documentary showing the meat/dairy industry cruelties. if standing against violence makes someone seem religious, maybe we need a lot more of it

        It’s often framed as a system of moral philosophies and the way the impact our behavior and interactions with the world and society. So yes, in many ways, veganism is a religion, or at the very least religion adjacent. Religions aren’t limited to belief in a magical sky daddy.
