Critics argue that offering Bible study as an elective in public schools would give students the opportunity to explore the Bible’s teachings and its impact on Western civilization. They believe that the Bible is not only a religious text but also a foundational document that has shaped laws, literature, and moral values throughout history. They argue that students should have the choice to study the Bible in an academic setting to gain insights into its influence on society and culture.

Supporters of this view also emphasize that offering Bible study as an elective respects the diverse beliefs of students while allowing those who are interested to deepen their understanding of the text. They argue that the elective nature of the course would ensure that participation is voluntary, thereby respecting the principle of separation of church and state while still acknowledging the Bible’s significance. For them, the inclusion of Bible study in the curriculum would provide a valuable educational option that promotes religious literacy and cultural awareness.

Another point of contention is the belief that secular education systems often overlook or undervalue the role of religion in history and society. Critics argue that offering Bible study as an elective would address this gap by providing students with an opportunity to engage with religious texts in an educational context. They believe that this would enrich students’ understanding of history, ethics, and literature, and promote a more comprehensive education.
