Godless Bible Designed for Public Schools

NEW YORK — An interfaith group released
a new textbook yesterday aimed at teaching public high school students
about the Bible while avoiding legal and religious disputes.

The nonprofit Bible Literacy Project of Fairfax, Va., spent five years
and $2 million developing ”The Bible and Its Influence."

The textbook, introduced during a Washington news conference, won initial
endorsements from specialists in literature, religion, and church-state
law.

So, if the 100-minute
Bible still has too much God
in it for your taste, you can try this completely Religion-free Bible Book,
which appearantly explains and describes the Bible without advocating actually
believing in any of it. A tricky task for the textbook Talleyrands.

We certainly hope if this questionable text ever actually
reaches the classroom, that it is taught in a unit that gives equal time
to the Torah, the Quoran, and the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
