We use the adult materials in our class and I'm not impressed. It's rather broad and a lot of commentary. Perhaps that's how all Sunday school literature is; I don't know. I've been in Sunday school for a year now and before that hadn't been in 17 years. And I was raised a different denomination entirely. But to me, if literature doesn't focus in depth on the Bible, then it's pointless and there would be more benefit in an hour of fellowship and prayer. I have never seen the actual children's curriculum until last night. I have far bigger concerns with it than with the adult material, both biblical and literary. I'm not sure I'd call it unGodly, but possibly presumptuous. Except the one part where it misquotes God. I have a big issue with that (page 50, God's response to the tower). I may mention it to someone, but I don't expect a favorable reaction. Our pastor has already said that they've received a lot of positive response to the Gospel Project curriculum. And I have no idea how much liberty the teachers take with the material. Our class gets side-tracked pretty easily.
ETA: I read through the first 3 lessons and it all seems normal and fine. Except I disagree that God was showing mercy and protection when He said no one could kill Cain. I read that in a disciplinary light. Anyway, even the writing isn't as irksome to me in the first 3 lessons. But the 4th lesson bugs me. How odd. I just wanted to update and be fair. I think I'm just going to follow along with her and we can read the passages from Scripture and discuss what was taught. I will also ask the teachers how they present the lesson.
