Well if they teach that much of what's in the Bible isn't supported by archaeology. If they teach that the religion developed over time (for example in Genesis it appears as if the Jews were not monotheists). They could also go into who actually wrote the Bible and why. Also go into what and how much was forged. You could also go into how throughout time people have used portions of the Bible to justify horrible acts. There's probably enough for an entire course. Think about it.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
