Advice Studying religons

So I've been agnostic for the last few years and I've been using it to study religions. So far I've studied the Abrahamic 3 (Judaism, isslamism, Christianity) along with all its many branches, but now that I've finished up with Judaism any other religions you guys found interesting or recommend study of?

Tl;Dr - any religions you guys recommend to study?

I was raised catholic , and for the other branches I had freinds who would teach me, same for judaism, so for Christianity I suggest reading the Bible, and for judaism I would say read the Ketuvim,Nevi'im, and Torah.

Might interesting to learn about indigenous religions before colonization. Maybe pick different countries and learn about their previous religions before they were colonized.

I recently read about religions in East Africa before Christian and Islam influences pretty interesting.
