This is wrong and the government should never approve funding for religious studies however good it may sound. This sounds more like a theocracy than democracy. It is against the separation of church and state. Contrary to popular belief, Amerika was not founded by Christian men in an orthodox sense.

The Georgia House of Representatives on Monday overwhelmingly passed legislation that would allow public high schools to offer courses on the Bible.

The bill, if signed into law, would allow elective courses on the history and literature of the Old and New Testament, using the actual Bible as text, according to the Gainesville Times.

Rep. James Mills thinks there's nothing wrong with having a Bible as a classroom textbook in a public school. Mills stated, "This is a start, and I think it's a long time overdue, to offer a course on the history of the Bible." According to Mills, everyone should learn the history of the Bible. He added, "It's part of our history, whether you're a Christian or an atheist."

Dr. Bill Coates, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Gainesville, Georgia said he supports the idea of a Bible study course because so much of culture, history and laws are based on the religious text.

Yet Dr. Coates is concerned that public schools would become an outlet for spiritual matters. He stated, "As appropriate as it is to teach the Bible in public schools, the place for spiritual guidance is the home and the church. We can never rely on the schools to do what our homes and churches may fail to do."

Maggie Garrett, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia says the legislation is favoring Christianity over other religions by the excluding other religious books.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that in committee some Georgia House members were concerned that the measure favors Christianity over other religions, yet no representative rose to speak against the bill on Monday.
