Religious literacy

Now that you have reflected on the value of religious literacy, share why the study of the world religions might be beneficial or helpful to you personally and to society. Is there value to religious literacy on the personal and/or political level? For example, how might enhancing Americans' knowledge of the Sikh people impact the lives of Sikh people in the U.S.? What is at stake in our society if citizens are illiterate when it comes to world religions?
