  • i went to high school in Texas in the 90s. One of the options for senior English was “the Bible as and in literature”, where they did what it says on the tin - studied the christian bible as a work of literature, and also ways the bible was used in literature.

    it was an aggressively non-religious class that focused on the bible because of its cultural importance, and some of my friends that started out nominally christian stopped identifying as such after reading the bible for class (some of them for the first time ever).

    That’s how you teach (just) the bible in school. Not whatever the hell they are doing now.
