List of Religions (Vegetarian World)

There are hundreds of religions in the Vegetarian World, but most large religions can be grouped into families. The two major families are the Dharmic Religions and the Abrahamic Religions. Atheists and agnostics make up the two largest groups respectively, and large populations of them can be found in nearly every nation. The religions, themselves, are generally found in their respective regions, though migration and cultural diffusion have played their part in changing the borders and adding diversity to the religion map.

The fastest-growing major religion, in percentage terms, is Jainism, followed by Unitarian Universalism.
