Wrong. I've defended a variety of religions in this very newsgroup,
including an unfounded attack on the Hare Krishnas by Jon Lindsay (aka
"Mr Falafel").

For example:

I merely stated the extent to which I believe kashrut can be orthorexic.
And there are many Jews who believe as I do about it. The passages with
the dietary laws are short and simple. The rules rabbis have imposed on
others are long and nitpicky -- they go far, far beyond the Scriptures.

For instance, the text says not to cook a calf in its mother's milk.
Sounds easy enough, but rabbis go from that and make another rule beyond
it (i.e., no dairy and meat together, even if it's not beef; except fish
can be eaten with dairy) and yet another (meat and dairy cannot be
cooked in the same pots, even at different times). The simple rule --
don't cook a calf in its mothers milk -- is a religious tenet. The
kashrut requirements of not mixing dairy with some meats and of having
two sets of pots is orthorexic.
