I know people sometimes take the separation of church and state just a little too far here in the US, but I have trouble believing that the presence of a Bible in the school library, or an electronic copy of it on a computer, would be any cause for controversy. There are any number of legitimate reasons for its presence (student research into various historical issues, for example). Where such controversies arise, they generally involve things like Christmastime nativity displays, public prayers performed at official school events, or the activities of officially-sanctioned religious organizations on school grounds, all of which can reasonably be said to relate to the "establishment of religion" by the state.
