I know a lot about Christianity and Wicca, so what religion should I learn about next?

Question

You can't say atheism because it isn't a religion!!! Ha!
But seriously, what is an interesting religion? Preferably non-Abrahamic.

Answer 1

Check out Hinduism or Buddhism. That should keep you happily researching for quite a while.

Answer 2

Why "non- Abrahamic"?

Try reading some C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity is a good start) before you dismiss Christianity with the wave of a magic wand.

And don't forget these famous Christians:

Someone will probably suggest the Ontario Consultants website...don't bother. It's not "unbiased" as many people claim. In fact, it's blatantly biased. Here's an example: "The Manson Family...a group with Christian beliefs". Right! Totally unbiased! It's run by a Wiccan and two atheists, which explains a lot. It's also said to be a front for the Church of Scientology.

Hey, now there's a religion you can study, Scientology: http://usminc.org/sceintology.html has 3 free ebooks you can download and links to a zillion sites.

And since you studied Wicca you might be interested in the lives of famous occultists too: http://usminc.org/famous.html

Answer 3

Zoroastrianism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism

Answer 4

Someone said Zoroastrianism that is a good one to learn about. I read a book about it acouple of years ago it was really good you should check it out
In Search of Zarathustra: The First Prophet and the Ideas That Changed the World by Paul Kriwaczek

Answer 5

You should check out the science of self realization for this leads one to true God realization and a true peace of mind.Man himself is an emerging God and employs the meat hod of evolution to bring this reality about. We are all divine beings that are working out a very high plan as it is in the mind of the creative logos of this planet. As for myself I am a student of the occult and this works for me very well and I also find the doctrines of esoteric Buddhism very inspiring and the teachings of the theosophical society very interesting.There is a new world religion that is now in the making as we move our way into the new age and will be based on love and brotherhood and sharing. The teacher for this new time is known as the 'World Teacher Maitreya who is the elder brother of the human evolution and oversees our whole development on this planet.

Answer 6

Some interesting ones....

Shinto (ancient Japanese religion, closely tied to nature, polytheistic)
Confucianism (primarily an ethical system with rituals)
Zoroastrianism
Scientology (figure out why many people hate it or why some celebrities love it)
Druidism
ancient Celt/Anglo-Saxon religions can be interesting (polytheistic, believe in triple goddess/Eostre-Easter ideas like Wicca)

Answer 7

This depends on what you want your religion to do for you. If you want the comfort of great promises, then Christianity or Islam will serve. If you truly seek to live in the "real" world and touch as much "divinity" as is possible, and engage in the purpose of this divinity, then you must go to Buddhism. There is no "believing" in Buddhism. It has to be real.

Answer 8

Hinduism and Buddhism, I would say, or the ancient Egyptian religion.

Answer 9

I agree that Hinduism would be interesting to learn about. It has a very rich and varied history.

Answer 10

I studied Greek Mythology. It's rather interesting when you get in to the history and what the myths actually mean.
