Scholar Chuck Stetson argues that it should be taught (using the method that 'most of the schools that teach it' use)--not in any regard to "the existence of God"--but rather so that all readers today will know the themes & references most of the writers ever (from ancient papyrus scrawlers to modern bloggers) used.

it should be taught that some people believe in the Bible and also that many do not - similarly with other religious texts

Not even that. It should be taught like every other widely distributed and society-influencing piece of writing.

@mythociate as history and literature - not as facts but as a perceived belief system, along with The Koran and Upanishads, not forgetting The Flying Spaghetti Monster of course

That would seem discriminatory to those that have a different point of view. Possibly offensive as well.

What if it were one topic in a wide subject like "Ancient Writings"?

@TheDemonicAngel I don't remember it being taught in any of my public-school history-classes ... of course, they were teaching us other mythical stuff like "the genius of Christopher Columbus" and "the freedom-fighting Founding Fathers," etc.

@mythociate well that is a historical topic, not just in the bible. That is taught in most history classes as is.
