Whenever we pass a popular Christian holiday like Easter, I find myself reading up on the pagan roots. Even though I am still not drawn to gods and goddesses like Ishtar in any spiritual way, I find the history fascinating. Anyone else feel this way?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Originally, I dreaded educating my son about religion and spirituality, but it has turned out to be one of our most interesting go-to conversations. He has an interesting take on why people seem to need it. And when it comes up in conversation, he says that god is just how people interpret the energy of the universe. I feel like he has a better grasp on religion at 11 than most adults. ?

Actually, I take a break from the study of religious history to visit this site.

I minored in religion in undergrad and loved it. Even though I was already a non-believer by that point, I loved learning about all the different ways people coped with their world.
@chyckweed I study religious history not to understand what people believe, bit why we believe it.
Well history is fascinating, period. Almost any learning experience usually add value to something..... My two cents. Cheers !!
