My experience has been good, learning and exploratory with other religions where I found that core values that are based on honesty, morally good acts, mutual respects and helping each other are same in all these religions. No religion teaches people to fight each other and it is delivered through specific value driven learnings. So, the approach is different, but the learnings and its objectives remain same that is my experience.
I could become familiar by working with people who follow other religion, studying books on informal basis to learn more about other religions and observing their practices during their festivals, special occasions and value driven practices. It helped my understands their cultural practices followed under the religion and making comparison with my own religion. It developed familiarity about other religions over a period of time.
