I was religion editor for a major metropolitan daily newspaper and had to learn as much as I could about the religious beliefs of others. If you are looking for an easy reference, might I suggest trying to find a high school text book (used by some northern prep schools) titled "Biographies of Religious Leaders." I edited a series titled "What Others Believe" which ran in the 60s in the Houston Post.

My interest in other religions is to be educated about what they believe in order to communicate with them. I like to ask questions about why they believe, and what they believe. I also like to know the source or basis for their beliefs. It also helps to protect me spiritually if I know what I dealing with. God has given us warnings about false doctrines and false teachers in the bible and also ways to test the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Definitely YES. I think most of us do! Either by curiousity, searching for a meaning in life or for other reasons.

Sure. I think that's a healthy pursuit. It can lead to better understanding, higher respect, less bigotry and prejudice, and a greater possiblility that we can all live tolerantly in peace together.

All the time. I've spent a great deal of time examining religious beliefs other than my own.
