Some ideas come more naturally to certain ideological leanings but luckily veganism is and should be accessible to everyone with the means to do so. Barring specific religions that require the consumption of animal products (I'm sure they exist) the practice doesn't need to be limited to certain (non-economic or -geographic) social groups. I think you'll find you're in good company on that front. Maybe start a new thread if you'd like to discuss your experiences more fully?

Like Catholics, where communion wine and crackers might not be vegan. Never mind the transubstantiation.
I don't think that's a serious issue, though; more like a medical exemption if they *have to* do it.

Most animal product consumption in religions is ritual and occasional.
