Are there religious beliefs that do not allow people to sit on a toilet seat therefore they stand on toilet seats?

I don't think that any one religion encourages to squat in standing position unless the persons disability to do so. If any one does like that, can be called as his habit.
Sorry, I didn't say like that, but the question is "Are there religious beliefs...?". If the reply is irrelevant, it might lead a reader to misunderstand about religious beliefs. Those, who do that, might have considered that sitting on toilet seat is unclean and hazardous to health.
I was stationed in Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield 1990...we had a lavatory that was shared by Saudis and Americans. We had to put a padlock on one of the stalls because the Saudi Beduin (SP?)Soldiers would stand on the toilets...honestly, they would leave them pretty disgusting. What we were told was that they take these guys out of the desert and they are in the habit of squatting....basically, they did not want to change. So, they stand on the toilet and squat! Also, remember...countries like Italy have what we called the "Bombchute"...just a hole in the floor. I never tried it...thank you very much..LOL!!! The world is an interesting place...I have a million stories...I've travelled extensively! I am not saying it is a religious practice...I agree...it was a habit...in fact, the Western Educated Saudi's (one or two) tried to tell them how to use the toilet, but they still reverted back to standing on them. There were a couple of slips and falls, but that's another story!

There are certain religious beliefs, such as in some branches of Islam, that advise against sitting directly on a toilet seat due to concerns about cleanliness. In such cases, followers may choose to hover or stand on the toilet seat while using the bathroom. It is a personal practice and not a universal requirement within the religion.

Why do Muslims eat with only their right hand?
The Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded people to eat with their right hands and forbade them to eat with their left hands. He said, "The Shaytaan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand." Narrated by Muslim (2020). This implies that eating with the left hand is haraam, and this is the correct view, because the one who eats with his left hand is either a shaytaan (a devil), or he is imitating the Shaytaan. Below is a little poem to teach your kids which is there left hand (so they don't using it).
