I’m contemplating going to grad school for psychology.
I’d really like to focus on the psychology of religion, but there are other areas of psychology that I find interesting too (e.g. evolutionary psychology).
I don’t have a background in psychology; I took one intro course in undergrad to fulfill a requirement for my bachelor’s in IT. I do read a lot of pop-sci about psychology.
Think about how will you earn your living. Who will pay you money, for what, and how much? In particular, consider that under the assumption that you will NOT be able to get a tenured position in academia.

Anyone have any advice for me going forward?

Yes… I’ve been reading up on all of the horror stories of adjunct professors...
