You can do a lot with a religion degree. The thing is not many people become priests, as much as you think. It might be helpful if you know which area of religion you want to study. If you're going to focus on a current religion, you could become a priest...or a theologian...or a historian...
Anti-defamation work for smaller religions is a good field to get into. Being a religious activist is hard work. There's also religious and social consulting that can be done for big companies.
I plan on studying ancient religions and theorizing what they really did and so on and so forth. With luck.
Everything I learned came from reading banned books.
