Who's doing that? You wouldn't be able to understand half of what you read. Did the author just make up someone to score points on?

At least in my (I think typical?) big city tech worker circle the bible as literature has been received with disdain the couple times I've seen it come up.

I also had a (atheist) friend once tell me he bought copies of the bhagavad gita and quran to put next to his bible so he would look well read instead of christian if anyone looked at his book shelf.

That pretty much describes the entire content of the article, which is filled with mythology with no basis in fact (and I’m not referring to actual Christian doctrine, but all the post-Biblical “history” in the piece), including completely fictional contents attributed to the Constitution.
