>One the reasons society is so dumb is undoubtedly because..most Christians today consider the Bible only book they need

If books other than the Bible were lel bad then why did so many classic of Antiquity survive the middle ages thanks to monasteries of monks hand-copying all that generation after generation? Pic related is the Admont Abbey Library (Benedictine abbey 200km from Vienna)


Is there a branch of Christianity today that frowns on it's members reading books that aren't the Bible?

The Amish might be like that, there's an guy that left the Amish that I follow on youtube, he says the schoolhouse at his Amish community only goes up to 8th grade and every grade is in the same classroom, they don't have separate classes for each grade

I know there are some fundamentalist Christians that don't want evolution taught in school but that wouldn't be "most Christians" but a very tiny minority

I went to Catholic schools 1st grade to 12th grade and it's all mainstream biology and evolution and every year we have literature class where we study secular literature, all my literature teachers were great and did a great job getting us into secular literature. One of my favorite literature teachers was a Lasallian Christian Brother (religious order)

We didn't study any religion literature in any of our literature classes. We had a whole separate Religion class for that. All the religion stuff was kept in that class.
