Click title of post for full story.
The Bible has been widely accepted as documentation of not just the Old and New Testament but, as history since, many of the stories have been confirmed from other historical writings. Aside from that but Judaism, as well as Christianity has it's roots within The Bible.
When I went to school, it was required that we learn about several world religions, paganism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, ect. The purpose for learning these religions stems from understanding the cultures from where they were created, as well as understanding how laws were developed in countries. That is history. How does that not provide educational benefits?
A lawsuit has been filed by the Maitland-based Liberty Counsel.
