Pretty positive the person you are replying to is being sarcastic and/or trolling, and agrees with you.
Sorry to break the bad news, but Carly Simon was probably singing about someone else...
While bacon-mania certainly has some corporate/big-farm backing, and at least a small amount of being a pushback (like some pro-steak sentiments) to being demonised by some for your choice of food preference, I find it more than a bit of a stretch to suggest there is any antireligion thing going on aside from those few for who everything is a chance to be anti-[insert-religion-or-other-thing-here] that they jump at enthusiastically.
Or just a clever marketing campaign by the pork industry...

That's why I'm always leery of ordering shrimp cocktail when having dinner with my Jewish friends.

Most Americans probably don't even know that practicing Jews don't eat bacon. If anything, snarky bacon memes seem to be directed at vegans.

Bacon is delicious. Nobody is forcing you to eat any.
If you're someone whose faith commands that you not go near swine of any sort, a catalog with several pages of bacon-themed products might start to feel like it was written with someone else in mind...
