Could a Wiccan use a "book of shadows"?

What if the religion doesn't have a written text - but is (or was) an established religion? Do they plan to discriminate against followers of Apollo? Of Mars and Jupiter? Of Skadhi?

Quite a can of worms, I think.

What are the other choices - to establish the Christian Bible as the official religious book of the government?

We live in a crazy world where people are claiming that allowing people to choose to pray in public is establishing a government religion. We supress freedom of religion and claim it that freedom of religion requires this suppression.

We don’t need to make it crazier by actually establishing a government religion.
