Those who study religion (or theology as it often called) do so for many and varied reasons. Private individuals may study religion, their own or religions in general, to be well informed and recognize differences or similarities of religions. People who are involved in becoming priests or ministers also study theology so they can minister to people with a greater knowledge of what is involved in whatever religion they have chosen. In conclusion, people study theology for their own personal edification or for the purposes of becoming more informed as priests or theologians.
