Do you think atheists are more likely to be vegan?

I think theists are more likely to conform to biblical law, and will more likelihood follow the dogma of carnism. I think this means vegans are more likely to reject this kind of dogma and thus are more likely to be atheists. Not all vegetarians and vegans are atheists though, and I think the ones that aren't at least reject orthodox biblical teachings.

I don't know how true this is, but my experience backs it up. I was told many years ago that those that partake of a carnivorous diet are more likely to become alcoholics than those with a vegetarian preference. I think the suggestion identified red meat particularly. I've not done the research to back up the claim. Just wondered if anyone here knew.

Yes. Based on a sample of people in my social network with whom I discuss theism/atheism, %40 meat eating atheists, % 95 meat eating theists. I actually wanted to ask Matt Dillahunty, on his Magic and Scepticism tour, a similar question until someone mentioned vegangains. Lol

I feel like yes, given we don't have a creationist story saying animals were created for us to eat, or anything. There's these. The superior/inferior one is one of my favourites, but more says both apply to one person, not that they reached one conclusion because of the other.

Well said! Loved it!

It seems like for those who are both, there is a correlation, and those people often feel like the two are related within them, but for those who are NOT both, they don't get it so there isn't! 😀 kinda funny

I became vegetarian before I left religion. However, it is possible that once one steps out of one box they are more apt to step out of others.

I imagine there is a large Buddhist vegan community.

Yes. I went to lunch with my brother at a Buddhist inspired vegan restaurant. I asked about how spicy one of the spicy dishes was. The owner/server said that it’s rather mild; they are Buddhists so they won’t hurt anyone. LOL.

True. Im Buddhist. I don't think the Shinos or Jans eat meat either. When I was a baby Buddhist and learning about sentience of all creatures , it was a natural change. Also, learning how to identify when i was operating from Ego, instead of love, helped me not justify my 'desire' to feast in flesh 'because God made it for me to kill and consume. ' But, I have known Buddhists that do eat meat.

@FreeBird713 Some Buddhists even war.

@EdEarl Indeed. Militants come from all walks of life. Sad but true.

I don’t think so. Most of my friends are atheists but none of them is vegan. At best some are “mostly vegetarian”.

@RobLawrence LOL I’m a bit of a grammar snob. I try to be a little less rigid sometimes though.

I don't think there is any correlation.

It makes sense to me that that would be the case, since rational/critical thinking brings one to both conclusions. However, that is not the reality, at least in my experience and i have been vegan for 30 years.

Posted by BDairWhy was there never a word about healthy diets and essential vitamins and nutrients? Liquor stores and 'big box' stores never closed. This was never about public health.
