So I think teaching them about this might be more appropriate: https://www.npr.org/2018/12/09/674995075/slave-bible-from-the-1800s-omitted-key-passages-that-could-incite-rebellion
They might also teach about this man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Coughlin
Or how about how the bible was used as an excuse to try to keep Americans dumb and ignorant. An excellent example of exactly where the Bible fits into American history.
Unfortunately, these people don't believe in evolution either.
You say "was" like it's not ongoing.
That's just how religions works. Our flavour just happens to be "Christian"
Wow, that was an interesting read there! It seems like he may have been an influence on the character "Brother Justin" in the Carnivàle show on HBO.
