This would be a good start, but in teaching the Bible as literature, I'm sure the school systems will also teach it as myth.

I think Bible as literature classes in schools should be supported by all Christians. I have found most people who are hostile to Christianity have worse than zero Bible knowledge. They have popular misconceptions of the Bible as their only Biblical knowledge.

Some people actually see it as that, which is their right to believe or not. That's why the schools have no business in teaching it. That's the parents' or churches' job.

You would rather the school system teach a particular version of religion as fact?
