Critics Use #BringYourBible Hashtag — and Expletives — to Lambaste Christian Group's Viral Bible Event

Twitter was lit up on Thursday with photos of children and adults, alike, holding their Bibles in honor of "Bring Your Bible to School Day," with many using the #BringYourBible hashtag to mark their participation.

But not everyone appreciates the nationwide event being spearheaded by Focus on the Family, a faith-based organization, with many using the hashtag to lambaste the Christian-centric effort.

See some of the negative reactions below (caution: strong language):

Most dominant religion in our fucking country. #BringYourBible #BringYourBibleToSchoolDay

So it's #BringYourBible day if I bring the "The Witches' Bible" would it still be religious freedom or does that only apply to Christians?

shout out to #bringyourbible bumpers who stand for "religious freedom" but would shit the bed if it were #bringyourquran to school day.

When you're too stupid and too stubborn to open your science text book and understands the facts of evolution may as well #BringYourBible

The concept of celebrating religious FREEDOM with a day called #BringYourBible seems just a LITTLE biased, no? #ThankYouPresidentJesus

Make sure to #BringYourBible because Christians spend all their life reading one book and still don't seem to pay attention to most of it.

Today is #BringYourQuran day! Just kidding, that would never happen in this country. Oh the hypocrisy...#BringYourBible

— Jeremy Wershoven (@jwershoven) October 8, 2015

B/c we need a redundant holiday like #BringYourBible to school..guess what, you already can. Oh wait, they want to proselytize.

So if you can #BringYourBible I can bring all my polytheist prayer books right? Fair is fair.

if #BringYourBible is not a perfect example of Christian privilege, then I don't know what is

As TheBlaze previously reported, Focus on the Family launched “Bring Your Bible to School Day” last year to “encourage public school students from kindergarten to college to express their faith freely."

An estimated 100,000 participants will take part in Thursday's "Bring Your Bible to School Day" event. Read more about it here.
