I'm an atheist but I have zero problem with a Bible being available in a school library... you know what turned me into an atheist was actually sitting down and reading the damn thing... I do hope they extend the same shelf space to other religious scripture and books on philosophy but sadly I doubt it.

Religious texts should be commented on sensitive parts and given a warning label.
