So many references in Western culture come back to the Bible and everyone should at least have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with it.

Having taken classes in which the Bible was presented as literature, I can honestly say that it is completely possible to leave the topic of religion out of it. However, I wish them luck in Odessa.
