Gotta apply the law fairly, no book should get an exemption just because it's part of the most popular US religion. I also love this quote:

It is the bestselling book of all time; it is historically accurate, scientifically sound, and most importantly, life-changing.

I can't think of a worse description of the Bible than historically accurate and scientifically sound. Though I'll agree, it's certainly changed a lot of lives.
