Yes, because to better understand others, I like to first understand their beliefs. I love learning about other people. But I guess thats one of the reasons I was in the military. I was able to travel around to different countries and come face to face with other peoples' realities.

Definitely. It's been more of a passion of mine lately. I'm interested in learning about a variety of religions. I'm not planning on switching faiths because I believe in my Christian (Lutheran) upbringing and everything I was taught, but I have a desire to understand how other religions were developed & what beliefs they hold as well as why they have those beliefs. I recently read "Night" by Elie Wiesel. He was a Jew sent to Auschwitz Concentration Camp & he also spoke of Kaballah. I'm interested to learn more of those beliefs and well as Islam to better understand the world around me. I assume since you pose the question that you like to learn of other peoples' religions. I think that's great! Good luck on your studies!

Yes I do, even as a Christian. In college, we had this "World Religion" week where we learned about different faiths of the world.
Bear in mind that I still have a Christian mindset; not all paths lead to salvation. However, I got to speak with a guy who was from the Bah'ai faith (I've spoken with Muslims, Jews, and Buddhists but not Bah'ai believers) and his worldview sounded interesting.
I am still bound to God's word, though. Christ is my strength.

Yes, definitely. To that end, I've researched quite a few different religious beliefs, and have attended many services outside of my own church and/or religion.

Yes. From clerics and lay alike. It's interesting to hear the different interpretations and points of view.
