Why isn't the New Testament taught in Elementary and High-school anymore? It's the #1 literary canon for the civilized world, not just prose but morals/philosophy/salvation etc.

I don't get why we have to read nihilistic works like Catcher in the Rye or Brave New World yet we ignore the Gospels that actually teach us about the world

Because it's a topic that is incredibly divisive. Even religious people freak out over how certain texts are interpreted and would just get butthurt if the teacher wasn't from the 'right' denomination.

don't be stupid. I'm only trying to say that teaching a subject (whether it be science of Christianity) is only acceptable when you begin by teaching the fundamental axioms (AKA "unfalsifiable evidence") that the corresponding field is based on.
