This would make the question of whether the Bible should be taught in schools irrelevant. Because I believe it is impossible to be neutral about any subject (all human perspective is subjective. Objectivity for humans is a myth. It goes along with logical thought being a logical fallacy. Ask me about it, and I'll explain.), then it is impossible to teach anything without an ideological perspective, and the state's perspective in every society throughout history is notoriously anti-individual and anti-family and anti-anything that isn't explicitly pro-government. So, in this case, I'll take the fourth position. - John Of course, there is always a fourth position which makes the first three moot:

The government should not be involved in education at all.

This would make the question of whether the Bible should be taught in schools irrelevant.

Because I believe it is impossible to be neutral about any subject (all human perspective is subjective. Objectivity for humans is a myth. It goes along with logical thought being a logical fallacy. Ask me about it, and I’ll explain.), then it is impossible to teach anything without an ideological perspective, and the state’s perspective in every society throughout history is notoriously anti-individual and anti-family and anti-anything that isn’t explicitly pro-government.

So, in this case, I’ll take the fourth position.
