I like to do research on almost every religion. 
I like to do my own research within Holy Books whenever I can, however, and use a dictionary, or an interpretation if I can't understand it in the dictionary. I try and look for idioms and metaphors throughout the Holy Books wherever I can.

I go to Sunday school as often as possible. Institute on Tuesdays (its like an RE lesson). Read the scriptures every night and do A LOT of research on the internet, websites, these forums etc and I annoy my friends from church lots by asking lots of questions!
Hey, I am a baby mormon, still lots to learn!

was put on a christian gradeschool (got bored there)
then went on to learn about physics biology history etc. but i quicky grow bored because most answers were already answered in that field so i started to look for the unanswered qeustions (philosofie) started to read about that and my gym teacher happend to be a philosofer (we sprinting he why do you start like that, why do you think that is the best way etc.) then i relized that there were already numerous religions that tryed to explain the same qeustions, so i started to look for the baselines in religions suprisingly most are quite similair so from those points i boiled out a view of life tested my view with realism and atheism and from that came my view on life then i went on wikipedia to trim the edges and add details to it searching from atheist to zenit, then as final test i tryed it out here to see how it fairs against other views

Well, as much as I have a cultural affinity to Judaism or Jewish culture (from a secular POV), I find it of great value and importance to read about other religions.
besides studying the Hebrew bible for 12 years in school, reading about allegory in the Hebrew bible and taking scriptual historiography classes in the university, I have read scriptures and texts of other religions such as the New Testament- which was specifically important to me as it is part of Jewish history and emerged from a 2000 YO stream of Jewish people, I have read the Gnostic gospels, the Qur'an, the Tao Te Ching, I have a keen interest of world mythologies and apart from reading about several of them, I took classes dedicated to ancient near eastern religion (Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Hittite etc.), and Greek mythology.
A topic which I like to investigate is the interplay between monotheism and paganism.
