You don’t need to “teach religion” in order to teach people about the Bible. After all, teaching people about ancient Greek mythology in schools does not mean we are teaching them to worship Zeus and Athena.

Exactly! In our High School English class the teacher got a number of Gideon Bibles and we read a significant percentage of it for background on so much of the literature that came afterwards. If you don’t know the Bible, so much of Western literature is hard to fathom.
