In knowing more about other religions, I can see why my beliefs are both sacred and how they differ from others. Also, it will give me a better understanding of those differences and how to approach others with why I believe what the Bible teaches.

Everyone should have, at least, a basic knowledge of religion around the world. If someone wants to communicate with another individual, a common element must be found, religion can be that factor. In my 7th and 8th grade History courses we use religion as a way to understand the cultures of each country. Why does a community act or operate as they do? Is there more than one belief system occurring in that area? How do they react to outside influences? Understanding an individual’s/groups’ faith, helps the outsider looking to understand and find the answers.
