Again, Dennis, you exemplify the well-read, knowledgeable, thoughtful person who articulates a position that so many of the rest of us can only now understand, admire, and say "Wow!, That's exactly how I feel." Thank you.
62% of American Christians use the same Bible. 39% have none. Your emphasis that Christian’s are divided is false. The fact is that US public schools had “religion” in them for 200 years and it didn’t hunt a single soul. Pitiful argument.
Considering the decline in church-going, especially since Covid, it's difficult to understand this political push for religion in public schools. It must be a reaction to sectarian and cultural trends in our society. Thanks for your observations!
Good question. When people talk about Bibles in schools, I ask which version? They tell me there is only one. I use that opportunity to present facts. Yes. I attended parochial schools and religion class was a daily item for better or worse.
If you subscribe to the Atlantic, give this article this morning a read. It confirms the point I make in"Whose Bible?": https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/06/public-school-christian-religion/683034/
I'd like to see the 10 commandments listed with examples of TACO upholding any single one of them. Let's start with "adultery"...

Does Texas know that there are 2 sets of the 10 Commandments in the Bible. Which one will they chose?

Amen.
You said it best: "When you religify politics, you politicize religion. This is bad for religion and politics."
