No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated. Neither may a government determine the aesthetic value of artistic creations, nor limit the forms of literacy or artistic expression.

And if you are if you are taught to read the bible, I can think of almost nothing more calculated to turn you off religion.
