There’s nothing better for turning Christians into atheists than making them actually read the Bible. I approve.

They'll be selectively read to. American kids can't actually read well these days, and this will do nothing to change that.

Yeah its ironic that the actual teachings of jesus and the gospel are about as far from Christo-fascism as one can be.

AFAIK they won't read the Bible directly, they'll read excerpts. So basically Republicans are curating only the parts they think fit their needs and are leaving out context that could completely flip the lesson on its head.

The teachings of Jesus are extremely woke at the same time. "Loving everyone unconditionally", "not caring if someone's doing religion wrong or thinking differently"?
