2010 - Year of the Bible?

One Senator has submitted a bill to declare 2010 the "year of the Bible" in an attempt to honor God's Word. The idea is facing stiff opposition, and definitely raises questions of separation of church and state.

Broun’s simple congressional resolution aimed at honoring the Good Book has produced a push-back of biblical proportion in the blogosphere, with critics dismissing it as either unconstitutional or a waste of time. Jews in Congress and atheist activists are dismissing the resolution, while none of the many Democrats in Congress who are Christian have bothered to sign on as co-sponsors...Broun rejects the critiques leveled at this effort.
“This doesn’t have anything to do with Christianity,” he said in an interview with POLITICO. Rather, he says, it seeks to recognize that the Bible played an integral role in the building of the United States, including providing the basis for our freedom of religion that allows Muslims, Hindus and even atheists to vocalize their own beliefs.

What do Quiz Teamers think? Is this a good idea, or something best left out of the halls of Congress?
