I agree with you that the Bible has many insertions and corruptions put there by men. You'll understand why I reject that book when you ponder the fallibility of the men who composed it originally, and who voted on its contents.
Ponder that for a moment: the contents of the Bible were voted on by men.
Forgive my amusement at your credulity, but citing the Bible is not only circular reasoning, it's laughably naive.
I don't think that God would agree with you. Why are you an atheist? What would be the point? Because the political influence of a small tribe of bronze age sheepherders thousands of years ago? Because you just can't abide by fantasy? Do you have children and do you celebrate Christmas with them? To me it seems odd to adopt the strict militant opposition to the ideology of a thousands year old book while simultaneously expressing amusement at it's authority.
