Religions and Faiths

The Religious Member Interest Group was established in 2017 to provide a resource and forum for religious diet education and community sharing. The world's primary religions fall into two categories: Abrahamic religions, such as Christianity, Judaism, and Islam; and Indian religions, which include Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and others. Billions of people follow the tenets of a religion and dietary practices.
