The book of Proverbs is a book of wisdom; it stands on its own without a religious backing, as I make clear in the article.
People quote Confucius' ideas all the time as wisdom, despite the fact that he was founding and leading a religion.
Ideas presented as wisdom need to be engaged as wisdom. If you are open-minded, an idea should be no less worthy of engagement just because it was preserved within the Scriptural canon.
