Hardline is a sect of Straightedge which fuses elements of Calvinism, veganism, and hardcore punk. An adherent of the Hardline religion is known as a hardliner. The Hardline philosophy forbids its adherents from smoking or chewing any form of tobacco, drinking alcoholic beverages, using illicit drugs or modern medicines, eating meat, and having sex (despite the sign their symbol is sXe). Instead, Hardliners are expected to follow a strict dietary regimen.
