Those who do not believe in Jesus Christ. So even Protestants and other Christian religions do it, not just Catholics.

I've been to many lands and seen many cultures (each with a different religion based on the the same God ( each with a different name but still holding the same values of what is ok to do and what is forbidden)) but the only religion I can think of with the small wafer (bread) and thimble full of wine to conduct services is Catholic. I think if a small child who does his/her communion at church and is not intoxicated afterwards can continue, then even the most deeply affected AA member could continue this minor contribution to afirmation. 'God' does not require you to take the bread and wine to be 'His' child however.

Gotta say-- I've never heard this one before. For most any Christian denomination, you would take communion. It's typically a small sip of wine (grape juice for most Baptist and Methodists churches) and a small sliver of unleavened bread (a wafer). In a Catholic church, you need to actually be Catholic to participate. In a Lutheran church, you just have to profess your belief that you acknowledge the body and blood. In other denominations, it's more just ceremony. Do you have a problem with it?

Sure. Muslims don't drink wine, and as far as I know, do not have any such metaphor in their rituals.
It may, however, interest you to know that ceremonial magic, that is basically witchcraft (or one subset, at least) does use bread and wine in rituals. Possible for the same reason Christians do; and Jews in the Passover ritual which is the origin of the Christian Eucharist. That is, food and drink are so essential to human life that they naturally become a part of ritual expressions of belief. We live by food and drink; our souls live by the spiritual symbols of food and drink.

Yes. The Salvation Army has no so called sacraments. So, therefore they have no Communion which uses bread and wine.

Yes.
Catholics partake of the authentic and substantial body, blood, soul, and divinity of the risen Christ.

Yep, lots of Southern churches have fried chicken and punch.

are you bulimic? from the sound of your religion, it's their ritual so either you'd have to change your religion or pray at home.
