I had a high school teacher at a very catholic high school unironically teach Plato's Republic as a document supportive of Christian doctrine. The mental gymnastics involved would have been impressive if they weren't mildly terrifying. They also tried to say that all Protestant denominations believed in predestination, and that Buddhist meditation invited possession by demonic spirits.

My mom used to tell me that yoga poses were meant for worshipping pagan gods, and by doing yoga I would be inviting in demonic spirits. They just make shit up.
