== Religion and vegetarianism ==
[[File:Rajasthanthali.jpg|thumbnail|200px|right|A vegetarian thali from Rajasthan, [[India]]. Because many Indian religions promote vegetarianism, India has more vegetarians than the rest of the world put together.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Food Science, An Ecological Approach|last=Edelstein|first=Sari|publisher=Jones & Bartlett Publishers|year=2013|isbn=978-1-4496-0344-1 |location=|pages=Page 281|quote=...India has more vegetarians than everywhere else in the world combined.}}</ref>]]
[[Wikipedia]], an online encyclopedia founded by an [[atheism|atheist]] and [[agnosticism|agnostic]], declared in August of 2019:
{{Cquote|Vegetarianism is strongly linked with a number of religions that originated in ancient [[India]] ([[Hinduism]], [[Jainism]] and [[Buddhism]]). In [[Jainism]], vegetarianism is mandatory for everyone; in Hinduism and Mahayana Buddhism, it is advocated by some influential scriptures and religious authorities. Comparatively, in the [[Abraham]]ic religions ([[Judaism]], [[Christianity]], and [[Islam]]), the [[Baha'i Faith|Bahá'í Faith]] and Dharmic religions such as [[Sikhism]], vegetarianism is less commonly viewed as a religious obligation, although in all these faiths there are groups actively promoting vegetarianism on religious grounds.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vegetarianism_and_religion&action=history Vegetarianism and religion], Wikipedia</ref>}}
