I in no way EVER push anything religious on anyone. 99% of my friends don't even have a clue what religion I am, and I can see a kid getting in a little trouble saying god damnit, because it is a swear BUT I think using the bible as an example is wrong. I'm not going against the pledge or anything at all, just stating what I think.
I've had teachers, when someone said something like jesus christ, say something like you should know better, using God's name in vain you need to go back to sunday school to a kid that they had no idea if they were even religious.
It's also not because of where I live, it was the same when I lived in Connecticut
