Worst possible, except for all the other things

British actor, an atheist, makes the claim that the Bible is one of the "worst books ever".   Well, worst ever, except for being the wellspring of the thinking that made Western Europe and North America some of the most humane culture out there, instead of leaving Mr. Cox to paint himself blue and throw innocent kids on a bone-fire, I guess.  And except for the--ahem--institutionalized atheism that generated the world's worst genocides in the 20th Century.
