Which one or ones?
I was born and raised Catholic, explored Judaism in college and even considered conversion. I also loooked into Buddism and it was very intriguing to me.
After graduating from college, I researched Wicca. Eventually, I found my way to Voodooism through a trip to New Orleans and advice form two respected Voodoo Preistesses there.
What other religions have your explored, even if you did not choose them as your path?

EXCELLENT question from my favorite voodoo poster!
I've explored christianity, buddhism, hinduism, judaism (in many forms), satanism and paganism in its many forms. I find the topic fascinating, personally.
Blessings on your path!

I'm a Humanist and Unitarian Universalist, but even before I knew there were such things as Humanism and UUism--as far back as I can remember, really--I was curious to understand the religions and philosophies that so inspire many of my fellow human beings. I have read books, talked to believers, and attended the services of many different faiths. I've learned a great deal, even though none has convinced me that it possesses all the right answers.
Most interesting studies: the Jewish Talmud, the religions of ancient Greece and Rome, and Jainism.
I hope I will always be a philonoist, a seeker of knowledge.

Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Jainism, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism, Shintoism, Confucianism (more of a school of thought than an actual religion), Taoism, Wicca, Voodoo, and the list goes on. I was born and raised a Southern Baptist, and I celebrate all the Christian, Jewish, and so-called Pagan holidays. I considered conversion to Baha'i. I think my parents for encouraging me to explore different religions and philosophies because, in my opinion, it truly enhance my intellectual abilities (taught me to think outside of the box and to articulate and defend an argument rationally, etc.) and knowledge.

Looked into Buddhism too--but the rituals, chanting, etc. weren't really my thing. I did like some of the ideas, though; they rang true to me. So now I'm studying The Course in Miracles after reading an out there book called Disappearance of the Universe. The ideas are actually similar to Buddhistic and Hindu ideas--once you can wrap your head around them. Practicing it is easier, I find--at times...and impossible at others. I guess that's the story of the spiritual journey though. Thus far, this path makes the most sense to me. But I say, find what works for you. To each his/her own.

I was a religious mutt, shopped around to many churches/beliefs as a child. I found this to be confusing. In college, I got a book about world religions and was fascinated by it. I came to the belief that there are certain universal truths found in many of them. That lead me to be come a Unitarian Universalist. I am a true Universalist in that I believe in God and that there are many paths that can be followed. I belong to a faith where it's encouraged that we experience the world faiths and adopt the practices that are meaningful for us. We are visiting a temple ina few weeks, and plan to go visit experience other faiths.

I was born an atheist (as was everyone else), and have to this day remained as such, because nothing has convinced me otherwise. I have read the King James Bible, the Qu'ran, the Torah, the Book of Mormon (droll), and even skimmed the Upanishads (Hindu for those that don't know).
I'm quite happy were I am.

I'm Tianice. I studied Christianity, Catholicism and Wicca. I also had to prove them out(easy task) to become Ordained as a Tianic Priest.
It's a good practice and I suggest it to all that are seeking faith.

Jehovah Witness
Mormonism
Satanism-Military friend
Witchcraft
Looked at Muslims briefly-but determined it was too cultural segregated for me. Later found its teachings to be false.

I've been non-religious for quite some time, but have started to look into Shinto.

I researched the Mormon religion and decided that it was a bunch of b.s.
