Forced to read and write about bible in public school, violating separation of church and state.

I mean, you can be forced to learn about the bible, even its contents, as part of a literature or history class in school.

But I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that probably wasn’t the purpose of what you were put through.

I'm not American, but in my country we straight up just had Religious Education classes as part of school. It sort of technically covered most of the major religions but really it was like 99% just about the bible and Christianity.

Also, it didn't work lol
