Not a hobby but I decided to study religious texts from all Abraham religions (Islam, Judaism and Christianity) as well as Dharmic ones. Why? Because as an Atheist I've always been curious about this but never worked up the stamina to actually do a deep dive until now. So far the it has been a net positive in my life. It has broadened my understanding of art, philosophy and history and I have also met a lot of interesting people and have grown my network significantly. I started reaching out to religious organizations in my local community and everyone welcomed me as an outsider and answered all my questions politely. It would have been even better without the COVID restrictions as the in person activities are limited but I can't complain.. I don't think I will completely "settle" on a specific religion but I can confidently say that my views on spirituality and religion has massively shifted as a result of this journey.
