"Tennessee Lawmakers Advance Bill to Make Bible State's Official Book"

[Lamentation]

A bill to make the Bible Tennessee’s official state book will proceed to the floor of the Tennessee House of Representatives after a committee on Tuesday recommended the legislation for passage.

In the bill, Republican state Rep. Jerry Sexton argues that the Bible should be the state’s official book to, among other reasons, reflect family heritage and underscore the multimillion-dollar industry that is Bible printing in Tennessee.

“The Holy Bible has great historical and cultural significance in the State of Tennessee as a record of the history of Tennessee families that predates some modern vital statistical records,” the legislation reads.

Why do they need a "state book"? This stuff just alienates people who maga needs. All the uber religion needs to be put aside. Believe what you want but many Americans just are not that devout and do not care to be.
