As a learning experience, and NOT permanently, which religion would you switch with and why? Just pretend for a moment you MUST switch, only for a week, as a learning experience to better evolve your own religion.

My current religious beliefs don't really fit with any religion I know of, so I can't really tell you what I am, there is no name for it.
However, I would like to try being part of an authentic Native American religion, or some other similar shamanic faith. I would really like to experience that type of faith. Unfortunately, I get the feeling that you can't really get the full experience of it unless you are really a member of the tribal people that practice the faith. So, I would really want to switch not only my religion, but also my identity, (at least temporarily).

I would like to switch to Judaism for a week because I would like to learn more of Hebrew, even though I already know how to say some blessings in Hebrew. I would also like to stay in the Kibbutz in Israel and visit the ladies section to pray near the Kotel, also known as the Western Wall. Men and women pray in different areas. Also visit all the Holy Land and take many pictures. And to let the people know that I support Israel. Plus, they love the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!
Next year in Jerusalem!!
Shalom!

I'm not religious but if I were to convert to a religion, and learn more about it, I guess it would be Buddhism. Basically I like how it teaches practical spiritual disciplines such as mediation along with advocating a middle ground approach to things. Seems like I can learn how to be a more balanced person overall, as it's easy to get caught up in the world and daily events.

At first I was gonna say Catholicism because that's where my parents are at and if any of that afterlife stuff is correct then I'd prolly like to see them again good or bad. As for a learning experience... Wicca. Because I know very little about that.

I regard religions as incompatible with insight, because all depend on closed systems of belief. However, whether I had a religion or not, I'd explore Buddhism (as I have). It is a practice, to strengthen "the muscles of the mind", rather than a belief system. It seeks to increase one's understanding of oneself, and all relationships, and to make one able to go on doing it - and does. Thus, when it uses images of Special Beings they are merely mental aids to entering particular states of mind, NOT illusions for permanent belief as in "gods" etc of religions. And the aim of its teachers is for the student to outgrow them - not become merely a subservient congregation for the aggrandizement and empowering of priests. It is not an easy road of meaningless rituals substituting for real development. But I would recommend it.

I'm a Spiritual minded Christian and I would switch with the Hebrew religion because it would not change anything for me because Jesus was a Jew and I would experience and be closer to my Lord by learning his Religion.

Im muslim.
Who says I have to convert to learn about other religions? You can stay your own religion and still learn about others.
Id probably learn more about Hindus or Sikhs.

I am an atheist, but I have attended Lutheran, United Church, Baptist, evangelical non-denominational Christian, Pentacostal, Seventh Day Adventist, Anglican, Ukrainian Catholic, Unitarian, Pagan/Wiccan and Jewish ceremonies, as well as attending Catholic school (and masses) for 8 years.
I would someday like to attend Moslem, Hindu and Vodun ceremonies. Actually, I'd be willing to attend pretty much any religious ceremonies of any religion, as long as they didn't actually expect me to join their religion.
