There's a line in the movie Gone With the Wind. The censor took issue with it back then, but it's oh so true. It's "frankly my dear, I don't give a damn". Kinda fitting for the above.
The only "atheist case" that concerns me is the one that goes, "The theists have utterly failed to make a compelling case for the existence of a god." And since it would be germane to this thread, we could add, "And the Christians, specifically, have failed spectacularly to make a convincing case for the extraordinary Biblical claims they believe."
That being the case, I join abaris in not giving a damn about your criteria until you can demonstrate that your religion is actually true. Then we can worry about interpreting your 'holy book'.
