Knowing what is told inside. You may even like some parts of it and some subtextual teachings, often they can speak to anyone, regardless if they're religious or not. Reading the Bible doesn't require to have faith, it's not a prerequisite.

Posting a thread on the Internet doesn't strictly equate to knocking on your door at 9am. You entered this topic willingly, therefore he isn't pushing anything on anyone. It's not like he camped in front of your kitcken window yelling that you should REPENT for 2 hours straight.

I'll admit that it being a huge influence in western history might give it more clout in general.

But beyond that, you could use the "knowing whats told inside, you might like some if it's subtextual teachings" about literally anything.

Even with major texts of other religions. Or philosophical reads.

Ran into a guy in the forest one time, he did this and called it Always smoking with the Lord.

Ive read the Bible some, which funnily not many Christians actually do (noticed the astounding lack of Biblical knowledge at various churches) leading to atheists often knowing more about it.

However I think you can know Christ without reading the Bible so Im not criticizing them.

Im sure I could put more effort into my study but as it is most of the Bible is just a confusing jumble of unfamiliar names and the whole thing just seems very uninviting and confusing to me. Although I have learned some interesting things about the original Hebrew- for example SHAVAT or Sabbath does not actually mean rest, but rather something more like abstained. So God wasnt resting or tired on the 7th day, He was just refraining from work by choice.

I will say all 7 Wisdom books are worth reading, they are much more relatable and contain some aphorisms that are well worth reading. I also always liked Ezekiel because he is my namesake and also his book was considered very perverse and unusual at the time the official collection was decided upon and into was nearly left out of the Bible.

To anyone curious about Christianity looking for a somewhat more secular/reasoned approach (rather than just faith), I recommend checking out Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis (of Narnia fame)- his seminal book on basic, non-demonational Christianity.

I prefer an audio version but its a great read either way.

Read it when I was still in school. Not because I had to, but I was curious.
Raised in a Catholic area so it's pretty much common knowledge.

We even have religion classes in school (optional, not required if you're not religious, but everyone is, so...).
Know everything major religions, basically everyone I know is religious but I stopped caring long time ago.

Good book though. Too bad people take it literally.

Most of what is in it is imaginary, but some things are essentially "inspired by true events." I find other mythologies more interesting, though the bible is interesting enough when viewed as mythology so I can appreciate it. I just don't care for the religion that uses it as religion as opposed to reading it secularly simply to enjoy the stories themselves.

Funny how the only Christians I know to actively shit on other religions (and Islam in particular) are the so-called Christians I've come across online, as opposed to the thousands of Christians I've come across irl, living as I do in majority-Christian countries

It's almost as if the online "Christians" are just trolls looking for attention
