I can get the cultural relevance, but between world history, the enlightenment, and American revolution, Christianity is basically covered in history class already. Not to mention the exposure from society at large.
Like maybe have a religious studies elective if you're really feeling it. Requirement is crazy though, and it's not like reading the bible is about to convert any kids as you experienced.
The more I think about it, I feel like meaningful study of anything biblical is past high school level to begin with.
I feel history is not linear. The points are illusions, there is a benefit to seeing people as they see themselves to hold them to account, the book of history never closes and no war ever ends. Happy anthropocene day!!!!
