Most people tend to forget one thing when mentioning the three major religions in the world:
they all came from the same geological area!
That means the culture that spawned them were nearly the same.
As for why pork was condemned by those cultures was for a few reasons. One was the fact that a sow will eat her young, cannibalism was frowned on during that time...and still if I remember correctly. Two, the meat caused a strange wasting illness (tape worms) that seemed to suck the life from people. And three is a bit of a rhetorical question, have any of you gone boar hunting? If you have then you know what the meat can look like on a wild pig, like it is being consumed by worms. (Which it is...eww so gross...)
Now to tackle the issue of atheism vs. religion.....
I am a pagan. (For those who think that means I am a witch please go to the back of the class with the pointed cap now.) I do not have a god, nor do I believe in the Christian God. I find the idea of the planet having been created and everything on it having only existed for less that 8,000 years as believable as the Tooth Fairy. But....I have to believe that something started everything at the beginning. God, as many define it, seems ludicrous when looked at from an outside perspective (I consider myself as such), but the total lack of a greater force is the same.
God doesn't exist, but life does.
A creator must, but I firmly believe that the being that started our universe is watching the whole of it with a clipboard taking notes. We are just part of a larger scheme, and not even the biggest or best part. It's just human arrogance that makes us all think that we are the only thing that can be called sentient in the universe or even on Earth.
So, in my opinion both atheism and religion are wrong.
