There was an experiment done in Israel a few years ago where episodes from the OT like the fall of Jericho had all the names replaced by those of actual historical personages and places in China.
It was then given to elementary schoolboys who were asked if what "the Jade Emperor" a.k.a OT God did was good or not. The ones being given the original said yes, those who saw the Chinese version said no.
Wish I could remember what it was called, I first encountered it in one of Karen Armstrong's journal articles as a reference. Maybe I still have it on my hard drive
