In America, some 28% of christians are biblical literalists of the &quot;God said it, I believe it, that settles it sort&quot;<p>So they probably would agree with this passage from their bible: Deuteronomy 13:6-10:<p>“If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you … Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die.”<p>So... Yea.  Oh, and in the 80s in high school, I had a loaded gun held to my head and was told that if I did t believe in god (which god??!!) I must surely be worshipping satan.  (The kid with the gun was pulled away by his friends. Lest I forget to mention it, this was a school in Texas.  Somehow that is relevant, I&#x27;m sure.)
