(Haven't watched the video yet); As a spiritually-inclined person who is also vegan, I do think that is something that other religious people need to come to terms with. Particularly when it comes to witchy and neopagan communities, there's too much (ie., more than zero) interest in reviving the dead practice of animal sacrifice.

On the other hand I would like to see some data on which proportion of people in each religion are vegan. Which belief systems have the highest percentages of vegans, relative to their own populations?

Buddhism and other neighboring systems tend to arrive at veganism being virtuous

That's also my hunch - that Buddhism in particular has a high percentage of vegans. I still would like to see the data though.

Just to add to the mix: Third Day Adventists encourage going vegan, and quite a few of them are vegetarian. It’s not a huge religion, but I know that they’ve even been studied for their longevity.

I Adventist health studies are amazing.
