    I live in a multicultural country where we are very concerned about racial harmony. Knowing others’ religions helps you live in peace with them and not do blatantly offensive things like munching on pork during a feast with Muslims.
    For the purpose of evangelism, it also helps to show interest in and have some unbiased knowledge of the person’s religion, before you can expect him to show interest in and be open to your religion.

    Living in a multi-cultural, and mlti-ethnic society, where it is highly likely that there will be interpersoanl relationships with people of a different faith to mine, I think it is both sensible, and respectful to have a basic working knowledge of these different beliefs. It is also essnential in order to build meaningful relational links with people of different faiths.

    God is love: to love our neighbor as ourselves means to understand who they are. Understanding the people of the world — all created in the image of God, and loved so much, that Jesus was given to all people and cultures — opens new vistas of understanding of others and ourselves, and the context one one’s own faith.

    It can be defined as belief and trust in God or other spiritual force that will guide your code of conduct, answering your prayers and assuring the triumph of good over evil forces.
