    Sure. There’s lots of cool literary history and Near East history around the Bible. Will they be teaching the whole history, starting from the original polytheist tradition, moving to Yahweh-centric monolatry, and transitioning to monotheism?

      As an atheist, I’m glad I had to read the Bible for school because I probably wouldn’t have realized on my own just how useful having read the Bible is for objecting to religion.
