I do have enough exposure to assert that this is NOT a case of generally deferring to religious beliefs, because Christianity and Judaism do NOT get the same treatment. I defer to your greater experience on the subject. I wonder, though, if what you're seeing isn't magnanimity rather than bias.

Bible as history, Took a course at SMU in 52 with that exact title. Back then the "M" meant something at the school. A semester of "Religion" was required. A wonderful course. That course taught me how much of the King James was in our Art and Literature. I read recently that a play about Muslims was pulled from production in NYC-little theatre somewhere-because the Muslim Clerics objected to it. People can put on "Piss Christ" and a play about Judas and Christ having sex, over the outraged objections of the Catholic Church, but they cave at the first sign of protest by the Muslims. Multiculturalism was part of the reason the Towers went to sea level. Watch and listen to NPR and BBC? I don't know how you do it.
