A lot of my non religious friends are giving up something for lent. It's more tradition over here though.
I was going to give up my rich tea biscuits but I totally wouldnt stick to it so I'm going to DO instead. 1 more activity a week with my daughter. We're pretty busy as it is but I will squeeze in more fun time so we'll go to softplay and parks once a week0 -
According to Wikipedia, it says others also observe. I said Christians to be safe.I thought only Catholics did that, not Christians in general?
This is what I learned as well.0 -
diet coke is my addiction. going to try to go for as as long as possible without it.0

Cigarettes! Oh man! Good luck!!!Not catholic, lutheran. But, I am giving up CIGARETTES!!0

I usually give up pop or fast food or sweets, but seeing as Ive had 2 cans of pop since new years (I was sick and it was the ONLY thing I could keep down), havent had any fast food and have very severely limited the sweets it seems like kind of a cop out lol. So I'm just going to be diligent with sticking to working out, eating right, and just continuing to live healthier0

Anyway, I'm going to give up meat, but i find that easy since I was veggie then vegan for two years, so perhaps I'll give up drinking and smoking as well as be a vegetarian again0 -

I'm giving up winning the lottery, for lent. I like to pick goals that are obtainable, to avoid disappointment.0

Lutherans observe it.0

Raised Catholic and converted to Quaker in my teens. I still like to observe lent. I like the challenge of giving something up for an extended period of time. Last year I gave up shopping (besides grocery and house hold stuff) This year I'm going soda and juice.
Good luck to all.0 -

Giving up All animal products and gluten (going for a gluten-free, vegan experience) It's going to be serious work for me.0 -

Lots of non-catholic observe lent. usually Lutherans Episcopal, Presbyterian and Methodist. I am a Methodist. I am giving up flavored greek yogurt in favor of a lower sugar breakfast. My husband and I are giving up cussing. We will have a swear jar and donate anything in it at the end of lent.
I may give up the 2 soda I drink a month as well.0 -
