I can tell you my wife, who has never been anything but a Catholic knows very little personally about the Bible whereas I have had great experience in it through Sunday School classes in Presbyterian Church.

That was my experience, too. I was never taught the Bible. Still haven't read more of it than a few psalms, which were part of the open session in grammar school. (I did pass an on-line cultural literacy Bible test once. You don't have to have read the Bible to know who King Solomon was, after all. <g>)

But, I fear it may drive more people to other religions rather then attract them.

Like I said, I think it's a matter of personal taste. Most churches have more than one mass. I think it would be nice to offer both and let people choose. Maybe even have boutique masses. Yes, that last bit was a joke, but in all seriousness, I don't see why uniformity is so important to the Church. One size doesn't fit all. The message may have to be the same but the format doesn't.
