I would want to see the syllabus. As an elective course, a "Bible and it's Influence" sounds interesting. I imagine it to be a study of how the Bible has influenced our culture. That's different than making someone pray to a God that they may or may not believe in or saying that the Bible is precisely true and accurate. I would think it should be an elective course and not a required course. I am not opposed to the studying of religion in school, as an education based focus saying "this is what other people believe". I think everybody should have a course like that and learn about Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism. It depends on how it presented though. That is very different than a teacher saying "We're going to pray to Allah while facing Mecca today" or "We're going to do a rain dance to the Rain God".
