John 3:16 is an all-time well known verse. Only one I could say without looking it up.

Didn’t even see that. And it’s coded so you actually have to pick up your cipher book! Or maybe it’s a dogwhistle and every christofascist worth their salt knows what it stands for.

This is one of my personal favorites as well.
My friend likes to use Hebrews 16:4… Because Hebrews only has 13 chapters. She uses it as a sort of litmus test to see if people actually know what they’re talking about. Apparently everyone she mentions it to just starts talking about how it’s such a beautiful verse, and they like it too. She said I’m the only person who has ever called her out on the fact that her “favorite” verse doesn’t exist…
I’m an agnostic atheist, and she leads her bible study group. She always jokes that I studied my bible better than anyone in her study group.

The second. John 3:16 is a very popular verse in the Baptist crowd I grew up around in the 90s. I don’t think it’s any more a fascist dog whistle than a Jesus fish. YMMV on how christofascist that is.
Like, I never went to church and it’s ingrained in my brain from my classmates and reading bumper stickers.

It is nearly always in the large crowds somewhere at sportball events.

I believe the exact verse is:
“And that’s the bottom line because Stone Cold said so.”

It’s also printed on In-N-Out drink cups & Forever 21 plastic bags.

What a difference in where one grows up. I have never once heard about John 3:16 and I had no idea what it is. You learn something new every day, I guess
