Sometimes Christians fast, but they don't do it for festivals. Some Jewish people used to fast in the Old Testament times. I'm not sure if modern time Jewish people do or not.
Some other religions that observe fasts during certain festivals include Islam (Ramadan), Judaism (Yom Kippur), and Hinduism (Navaratri). Fasting is often seen as a way to purify the body and spirit, and to show devotion and discipline.

Well it depends on what type of religion you are. Different religions fast in different ways. My religion fasts by eating no vegetables, salt, corn syrup, or anything like that for a week. I hear one other Indian religion fasts by not eating the whole day except nighttime I think. So it kind of depends on what religion you are. Hope that helped!
Yes fasting is also followed by many other religions as fasting has numerous medical benefits. Some of the religions that fast are Christianity, Budhism, Bahai Faith, Hinduism etc.

When violence broke out between Hindus and Muslims Gandhi resorted to fasts and tours of disturbed areas to check it. On Jan. 30,1948 he was shot by a Hindu fanatic who was angered by Gandhi's solicitude for Muslims.

Fasting in the month of Rajab is not obligatory in Islam, but some Muslims observe voluntary fasts during this month, especially on certain days like the 27th, which is believed to be the night of Isra and Mi'raj. While there is no specific requirement, these fasts are seen as a way to seek spiritual rewards and prepare for the upcoming month of Ramadan. It is important to note that practices may vary among different Islamic communities.
