Please note: "learning about" does not mean "converting to".

I love learning about all religions. My mother is Catholic and I went to a Catholic school, although I do not consider myself Catholic now. My father was Methodist but converted to Southern Baptist. I have read extensively on Wicca and various pagan religions, and to a smaller extent on Buddhism and Taoism. I am currently reading about Judaism and I would eventually like to learn about Islam.
I think it is important that we make every effort to learn about other religions. Ignorance leads to intolerance, and how many wars are fought because of intolerance? I fully intend to educate my children about a variety of religions and let them make their own decisions.

Asatrur/Heathen Reconstructionism
The cultures of Northern Europe and Southern Europe have many cultural differences that are reflected in the basic philosophies underlying the religion. Understanding the culture is IMO a basic requirement to understanding the religion as well as the other way around.

I've found some aspects of Zen most interesting so far. If I have to pick one I haven't learned about I guess I'd pick Zoroastrianism, to better understand the roots of the modern monotheistic religions that dominate the part of the world I have to live in.
EDIT: Hmmm... I might look into that Diagoras fellow too.

Christianity - it is the largest religion in the area where I live.
But, I do love learning about all mythologies. Egyptian, Greek, Roman. I've taken an interest in Hinduism as well.

There isn't any. I wish I had more time for playing music, and living in a particular part of Oregon, but I don't need any other philosophy or religion to learn about. I am plainly content.

Jehovah's witnesses and Orthodox Jews. Both seem very interesting to me. Though, I'd never convert. Go Christianity!!

I'd like to learn about Buddhism more and all the God's and Goddess' in Hinduism.

Buddhism or Hinduism. Since I have never encountered any evidence to suggest the existence of any sort of deity, I am presently an atheist.
