Inevitably, if you feel like you don't know enough, these aren't the places you should find info, pick up your book and learn directly from source material because what these institutions will probably put in your mind is most likely going to be criticism that you will not be able to resolve if you don't have a strong grasp on your religion.
Anyway, all the best to you.

Religious Studies will teach you to think critically about the issues in Religion. If you take the time, you will learn about the real inside stuff of religions, and how the experts and scholars view matters. It's definitely not like Sunday School on an extended loop. McMaster has a long-standing and well-deserved reputation for innovation and excellence in this academic field, which has been mostly ignored by other major universities, and unashamedly distorted and exploited by many minor universities.
