What value do you see in studying theology in concerns to Christianity?

Serious question. How many of us actually care to study theology? Theology can be defined as the study of religious belief; though it's said to be the study of the nature of the divine, among other things.
So do you have or have you ever had an interest in theology? Why or why not?
Personally, I find it to be an interesting topic, but more from a historical point of view. To me, it's interesting to think about how religion has shaped the world. Outside of that, I couldn't care less. And I think, at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Science is superior to religion in terms of attempting to explain the world around us, if that is what religion is attempting to do.
I certainly wouldn't devote an entire college education to it. But would maybe read a few books on theology... specifically written from a secular perspective? Sure.
What do you guys think?

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
