All kids must read the Bible, federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says.

RE: All kids must read the Bible, federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says.
Think the Bible should be taught in school, but not in the way most Christians would want it to be taught. As Adrian mentioned, it should be taught in a historical and literature based context that does not attempt to preach the Bible, but teach what it is, who wrote it, what is it's significance, etc...

Same should be done for any other religious book, the Koran, the book of Morman. And the classes should be optional.
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Benjamin Franklin
