Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Every religion includes a practice of fasting one day a week.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Fasting shows up in a lot of religions, but not on one uniform weekly schedule. Muslims fast every day for the entire month of Ramadan rather than one day a week, Jewish fasts fall on specific yearly dates like Yom Kippur, and the Baha'i fast is a single stretch each March.
