My minor was Theology.
I knew full well that there would be no other time in my life where I could study religion for the heck of it. And having attended public schools all of my life until college, I knew nothing about religions other than Christianity. So, I learned a LOT about Islam, a little about Jewish scriptures, a good deal about African and African American religions (voodoo, santeria, candomble'), Ancient Egyptian religion, and mythology.
I will probably never have any practical use for this knowledge, but I feel as though it has made me more well-rounded.
And I do think I grew spiritually by learning about so many religions.
