I am not a Christian, however, there are a number of Buddhist temples and meditation centers near where I live, and yes I have been to them.

It's definitely a great way to learn about other forms of worship and faith. I've visited temples, synagogues, and churches of different denominations.

I go when invited. Otherwise I feel like I'm intruding.

ditto. I think it'd be fascinating to visit a Buddhist temple or an old Catholic Cathedral or something like that.

Of course. Don't forget, that for someone that is seeking a place that fits their idea of what's needed in their spiritual life, they may find it in another place of worship.

Same here unless it is a Christian place of worship. I'm Christian so no worries there. However I am worried about not following protocol so I don't wander into any other house of worship.

Any greater Cincinnati Hindu's, Muslims, Pagans or whatevers want me to visit their House of Worship PM me. I've been to the Jewish house of worship many times so no mystery there.
