That reading diversity post reminds me of the English prof at my college who tried (unsuccessfully) to start a secular bible study because he was so annoyed that students didn’t recognize the symbolism in all the dead white man books they were reading.

We had a bible as literature unit in high school which served that purpose. I think there was also some Talmud and some eastern religious texts but definitely no Koran.

Thanks for continuing the links even though they are ever so depressing week to week. I can’t believe (but I do) that these people are our neighbors and coworkers and are so full of hate.
