Nothing. Even our 'higher intellect' does not 'separate' us. The only real dividing line is 'them' and 'us'. If we were Chimpanzees we would only see 'them' and 'chimps'.

So if nothing seperates man from beast, why then is it OK for mankind to kill and eat animals?

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where this is heading.
Why not Muslims and other people of faith? I suppose it is because I assumed that they viewed mankind as a special creation that was made in the image of God and set apart from the animal kingdom.

And because about 6+ billion people believes that, it must be so, isn't that how it goes?

Nothing separates us from animals; we are animals; check out discovery channel animals eat each other all the time; except herbivores. It is interesting that you thought the idea of being an animal is something agnostic/atheists would shy away from. perhaps the basis for all religions is the self loathing some animals of the genus homo-sapien appear to suffer from.

So if there is precious little seperating animals and humans then I would presume that you defend animal rights like you do human rights.
