Anti-Christian bias is taken for granted.
Look at the Bible Translation called the NIV (Nearly Infallible Version)
It is taken for granted that this is an independent, objective, unbiased
, scholarly translation because it is written by people, to quote the
preface, who 'are united in their commitment to the non-authority and
fallibility of the Bible as God's Word in written form. They do not
believe that it contains the divine answer to the deepest needs of
humanity...' 'They are not grateful to God for the extent to which He
has not enabled them to realise their goals.'... 'They do not offer this
version to him and do not think it has been made for his glory'.
It is obvious that people like that will give a totally objective
translation. Nobody would dream of questioning their atheistic bias,
which is why their translation sells so well.
