A religion is just a language/library/framework to make sense of God. A Christian, Muslim, Hindi, Buddhist can all believe in the same God just like you can use any language to express any thought.

This is NOT true for poetry which often dies in translation. Like a dried flower. Still beautiful yes, but often lacking something vital.

If I were to learn other languages, my main goal would probably to understand its poetry. To learn a new way of dicing up the world to see how it attempts to understand the divine.
