I chose to study epistemology (the study of knowledge and justified belief) because it fascinates me how the mind works and how everyday beliefs arise. It is a branch of philosophy that I plan on studying further in the future. Philosophical skepticism (both a school of thought and a method that crosses disciplines and cultures) also comes into play with epistemology. Epistemology covers the justification of true beliefs, not religious beliefs. I myself, do not practice any religion because I can't bring myself to believe in any "god".
