It contains NSFW content, it gets tagged as such.
This is correct and appropriate.
The alternative is having an exemption for religious texts. If the Bible was judged by the standards of secular literature, it would not be made available to children.

People would protest this by claiming 50 shades is their religious text or something
To me this is a feature for Freedom of Religion, not a bug.
No religious text should ever be taught to any child.
To be fair, these children also shouldn't be at work, but I agree with the sentiment.
My god, have you read Genesis? There's some sick shit going on, drugging people to have sex with them... That kind of conversation damn well wouldn't fly at my workplace.
Have you actually read the bible? If anyone takes tagging for sex, crime, and violence seriously, of course they will block the bible. Just because your pastor skips the offending parts does not mean they don't exist. Same applies to the Quran.
Seems reasonable
While these text obviously depict violence in a plethora of ways, it once again shows how flawed "NSFW" is as a catch all label. As a priest the bible is obviously safe for work. For a sex worker porn and sex toys are safe for work, etc. We as society should learn to use more useful content warnings everywhere.
