Default Are there any religions in the world, other than Hinduism and Jainism whose followers

Only serious answers please.
Many sub-castes of Hindus and mostly all Jains are vegetarians. I am curious to know about any other religions/communities who practice vegetarianism. They may be anywhere in the world. Pls do write if you have information on any of them or if you are one of them, with details. Thank you.

Most Buddhists are vegetarians and The Seventh Day Adventists are, also.You will also find alto of Wiccans/Pagans who are also vegetarians, but it's not a religiously guided choice, for the most part.

Seventh day Adventists (SDA) often practice vegetarianism. I think that both Kellogg (of corn flake fame), and Post (grape nuts), were SDAs.

Christians were Vegetarian at first, until after the flood, when God gave them permission to eat only certain animals! Few folks follow Gods instructions! God gave all freedom of choice in all things. He has stated what happens if you do this or that or the other thing! Some are good, some are bad, but is all your choice!

Pythagoreanism ... the cult is long dead, but has held a strong influence on many of today's alternative religious beliefs.
