I always assumed it was in reference to how many obvious fantasy/supernatural elements there are in the bible. It goes back to what was already said, you have to at least believe in something while reading, which just tells me there's no point in reading it.
What if you read the Bible or the Qur'an simply to learn what other people believed...and then made up your own mind AFTER considering what they had to say?
Like you would just about any other book.
