Agreed. I once took a literature class that forbade any essay papers on Christianity.
Yet he assigned multiple reading essays by Albert Einstein misinterpreting theism and Christianity. Einsten was relatively (pun) overrated as a philosdopher.
I took that as rank hypocrisy. I defied the teacher, and wrote rebuttals every time we were assigned such propaganda.
I know the Bible, I know hard science, and I ain’t stupid. The teacher gave me A’s on each one. (I actually ended up with the highest grade in the class.)
I doubt there is such a fair-minded leftist, atheist professor in today’s academic morass.
How long ago was your literature class?
