Many religions have some vegetarian and even vegan teachings, though these are often not adopted by all members of the faith. There are specialist groups who focus on this for particular religions.

Promoting veg*nism in conjunction with religious festivals can be a very positive and inclusive idea, so do think about this when it's coming up to All Saints' Day, Diwali, Christmas, Lent, or whatever.
