A Texas mom said she and her child have been threatened after they complained about “Bible Man” visits to her son’s school.

The Christian-themed superhero character played by Horace Turner has been visiting Grundy County schools for nearly 40 years, but the atheist mom contacted a national secular group over her concerns, reported WRCB-TV.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation sent a letter on behalf of the woman, who asked to remain anonymous in news reports, questioning the constitutionality of the in-school visits.

While some Christian evangelizers come as wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing, this wolf comes dressed as a wolf,” the group said in a letter. “’Bible Man’s’ overtly religious and proselytizing messages are explicit.”

4. There is no Grundy County in Texas: the story is actually about Tennessee, I think

Maybe Raw Story isn't ready to play in the big leagues

6. I would have a problem with

Bible Man coming to my daughter's school, too. (Unless I was paying for her to go to a religious school. Which I don't. Hence my problem with it.)

Comparative Religions taught in school.... no problem.

Bible Man coming? Yuck!
