It's not anti-religious propaganda. It's all in the book.
Proverbs 23:14: "Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell"
Ephesians 5:22: "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord."
1 Corinthians 14:34-35: "Let the women keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but let them subject themselves, just as the Law also says. And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church."
I used to be a Christian.
