It is difficult to speak about Pythagoras’s religion since he left no writings behind. However, the Pythagoreans believed that after death the human soul is reincarnated in other animals and thus that all living things have a certain kinship. Pythagoras’s followers championed certain forms of religious observance: for example, they did not eat beans, they performed sacrifices and entered temples barefoot, and they wore white clothing.
