Passages, mind you, not the book itself.

If they read the whole thing kids might figure out that "Christian Nationalists" are everything Jesus was against.

    You could also just go with some of the teachings of Jesus. Like love thy neighbour, that was a pretty big one. Pretty sure he said not to be a judgemental belled too, probably paraphrasing a bit with that one.

    Those aren't the values conservatives are talking about

    When I was a kid I was forced into church and Christian school. I was required to read the Bible every day of the week.

    This was how I realized it was all bullshit. I believed fully in God until about age 12 or so, when I completed my first pass of the Bible.

    It really is the fastest way to make average intelligence or higher Christians shed their faith.
