You can often impress those of your religion with your knowledge of scriptures and fervor. If you need lodging or a meal you know that your faith, even those less devoted than you, can provide for you if you need. You can also often gain a more candid version of the churches feelings on local matters. In addition, you can sometimes find others in a new region who share your zealous views. These individuals are kindred spirits and will treat you like family unless you have a drastically different interpretation of scriptures (which happens surprisingly often).
