I was surprised at how interested I got in “the history of god”, which covers the 3 big Abrahamic religions. It’s very informative, I’ve actually learnt a lot of useful things to understand cultural stuff I’m actually encountering often (what does the trinity _means_? Whats do the ancient greeks have to do with Christianity? What’s mysticism? What are Sufis?).
