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.
To be clear, it is clearly bigotry to use “religion” as a label in an effort to be dismissive of anyone’s personal moral belief system or philosophy.
Several of the answers were interesting because they seemed to focus on social perceptions and how others would see them. I got very much “convert the heathens” vibes off some of them - but it’s probably a “broad church” within that population who associate with the term. Need some schisms and sub-sects to form, like orthodox, reformist, catholic , protestant to get terminology that represents the diversity of beliefs. I’m not sure internet will allow that once a term has meme value.
Either way it was quite interesting to me because i’m generally against animal killing and cruelty and I don’t like animal testing, even for medical research, which some people think is quite extreme. But i really don’t give a fuck what other people think; about as much as i expect them to give a shit about me.
There’s always tradeoffs, and hide glue has some extremely good characteristics so i’d use that gladly. But i must accept that if someone needs some glue (or just a snack) and they find my corpse - have at it.
