Critics argue that the Bible has played a significant role in shaping the moral and philosophical foundation of the United States.

They argue that the Bible is not just a religious text but a key element in the cultural and historical narrative of the country.

Supporters of this view also highlight the influence of biblical principles on early American leaders and the development of laws, ethics, and governance.

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.
