Is a Religion Degree worth anything?

Is a Religion Degree worth anything?
I was studying Psychology and realized that a Psych major without a grad degree will get you exactly nowhere (or at least not as far as most other BA/BS degrees). I am an older student, and need to wrap this up as soon as I can. I was reading a study that as far as humanities degrees are concerned, Religion, Philosophy, and History BA's are more useful than Psych and Social Work (a combination of no grad degree and the flooding of the field by everyone wanting to get into it I assume).

I was already majoring in Psych with a Religion Minor. I would just be switching them around (and finishing over a semester sooner) this way.

So I'm asking anyone out there with a degree in Religion or Religious Studies if you've found a Bachelor's to be useful for you in any way. This is not about Christianity or a specific religion, so I don't need opinions on its "usefulness" as far as a life ambition. I need to know about its usefulness in the job market.

Also, if anyone knows if there is much financial aid and/or scholarships available to attend seminary, I would appreciate that info, too.
Why thank you for all the very serious, well thought out, helpful answers. Why do I even bother asking things here anymore?
Actually, I was talking about the second guy who answered. So at least you didn't take it too personally, there, buddy.
PS- I am seeking religious work. I said I was referring to the degree and not to the religion so all the Atheists didn't pop out and lecture me about sky fairies and how silly I am for being a Christian. I was trying to keep the focus on the question of the usefulness of the degree and not on my personal beliefs. Of course I wouldn't seek a degree in religion if I didn't seek religious employment.
