Actually the highschool I went to a free, award-winning education (because of a little more tax on the community) that offered the course. Here in the Midwest, too.
But back to the subject, how about if everyone actually followed the Bible to the letter (which they didn't even do when it was first put out centuries ago)?
Men with their hair cut above their ears would be killed, female relatives would be eligible to be sold into slavery, burning bulls would be acommon practice, the disabled wouldn't be allowed to approach alters, eating shellfish would be banned as it is an abomination, etc. etc.

The bible should never be taught as historical fact, as it is factually innacurate and full of bullshit.
Imagine somebody trying to do that today... L. Ron Hubbard had a pretty good go and proved how easy it is to create a religion. I bet he was laughing all the way to the bank, smoking weed and taking lsd while he preached on how drugs are bad, and we must be Cleared... lol.
I remember someone on this site (preo', I think) likeneing belief in a god to an imaginary friend. Some people are just too afraid to accept the truth.

Nope. I is ein newbie.
And no, in the class the Bible isn't taught as the truth behind history, but rather one of the religions mandkind has chosen to believe in.
Honestly, the Bible was never meant to be a tool to control the masses. Hell, look at how much of a minority the first Christians were in Rome. Even disciples denied ever knowing of a man named Jesus.
I think if you can scratch the surface, there is something beautiful in every holy text. The Qur'ran is a beautiful piece of literature, and God knows how much wonderful poetry and knowledge is to be taken from the many Sutras of Buddhism.

And your historical evidence for all of this? It wouldn't be the bible by any chance?

maybe u should narrow the question down a little, are we to assume this god u speak of actually exists? are we speaking of the abrahamic god?let's just say, to make this question work, that the whole world stopped believing in god. just threw it all out the window. what would happen? would the earth blow up? would satan rule? honestly.
your particular god.

It's already happening, look around you. Even the ones that claim to believe. Ask them why they believe and they will not be able to tell you. The reason for this is that they are lying to themselves. The lie is very weak, which is why they cannot stand being questioned on it.
