It’s because they don’t want people to actually read and engage with the bible, as either a historical text or a source of theological wisdom. They want to use it as a means of subjugating people that they do not like, by cherry-picking verses that “prove” their bigoted, hostile, fearful world view… The actual content and complexity of the book itself doesn’t matter, because they aren’t using it in any kind of good faith manner…
