    i get what youre saying, but having more people read the bible in school also just seems a lot like throwing more fuel on the fire.

      Obviously it’s only any good if “Bible literacy” is taught by people who have actually studied the bible and aren’t bound by dogmas to a specific religious interpretation, which I don’t think is feasible. But if Bible literacy was really what they were teaching, chances are it would have a net positive impact on America.
