Another point of contention is the balance between religious and secular education. Critics of incorporating the Bible into history curricula argue that it could blur the line between church and state, potentially promoting one religion over others. However, supporters believe that presenting the Bible as a historical and cultural text, rather than a purely religious one, can enrich students’ knowledge without infringing on the separation of church and state.
