Macrobiotic and Vegan are completely animal and animal by-product free. They don't even use honey because of the bees that produce it.
People define vegetarianism differently. Some use it to mean simply no red meat, but they eat chicken, fish, eggs, milk, cheeses, and honey.
There are differences between macrobiotic and vegan. I think most of the difference is that macrobiotic involves more raw food and is much stricter than even the vegan diet.
Vegan is strictly grains, nuts (and their oils), seeds, fruits and vegetables.
I am a Christian. Years ago, my husband and I did the McDougall vegan diet. For health, not religious, reasons. If you are interested in vegan cooking, Dr. John McDougall has several books and they have great recipes.

Milk is non-vegan...it comes from an animal. Most of it. Coconut milk is vegan, obviously.
All food has microorganisms. And people do kill the healthy ones in veggies when they cook the foods incorrectly. But that doesn't make them non-veg. The main thing making something non-veg is when it comes from an animal...meat, eggs, milk, fish, etc.

Reminds me of an article in The Onion in which scientists find that vegetable emit a supersonic screaming sound when eaten raw... and therefore vegans are left to eat nothing but their own body hair to survive.
There is nothing you can eat that isn't organic and was once alive... except maybe twinkies, I think they may be entirely synthetic.

It is vegetarian but not Vegan. Some people don't eat anything from animals at all.

For strict vegetarians, milk is not vegetarian. For ovolacto vegetarians, it's okay (ovolacto means eggs and milk).

I don't understand what religion has to do with being a vegerarian. Their are some meats that Islam teaches us we can't eat but rather or not we eat meat at all has nothing to do with the religion.

vegan- no meat, no cheese, no milk or dairy, & no eggs.
vegetarian- no meat (some eat seafood)
There is also a group that's like vegan, but they only eat raw food !
