Study of Religious sciences

Salam VVA and welcome to the forum )
If you want to know about the true message of the different religion, i suggest you read articles on internet, and especially all the articles here at free-minds.org, and at 19.org etc. Or buy books about critical thinking in religions at amazon.com. I think internett is a very powerful weapon, and that you can learn almost anything at the internett buy searching for the stuff you want to know about in for example google.com. Some of the students at free-minds knows more about Islam than people that have went to universities, so i don't think it is important to go to an university to learn about religion, especially since you can learn ten times more just by reading articles and buy books and doing self-study at home.
I don't think the true message of different religions will be discussed by detail in the universities, because the universities mostlly learn people about the mainstream beliefs, and most of those beliefs are fake. An example of that is that Hadith is a part of Islam and should be used as lawbooks, and that Jesus is the son of God. These are all fake beliefs that consists in the mainstream teachings.
But these are my of opinions, and it doesn't mean that all universities are teaching the the mainstream beliefs as there actually can be iniversities that learn some of the true messages in the different religions, but if you ask me, i think none of them can learn people all the true messages yet, because that needs courage, and can be dangerous since many mainstream muslims or Christians can demonstrate violently against it. If i was you i would have done a self-study at home through the internett, and by reading different books about the religions. I personally think it is a wasting of time buy using 1 or 2 years to study about religion at a university, unless you are gonna study further in there or finish and education and work with religion for the rest of your life.
