To me it just shows that they haven't really thought about it (whatever 'it' is) and really don't want to either. It's just a way for them to make themselves feel superior to believers. They pretend that atheism is the only rational approach then proceed to put their stupidity on display.
I think you are right we can't really think about (whatever 'it' is)? The interpretations are so vast, not only against all the different Christian denominations, but also against all the interpretations across the ages, which is 2000 years just for the New Testament

Even if I decided to try and learn all the denominations, sub denominations and then all the personal beliefs intertwined, by the time I had got anywhere the interpretations would have changed again to pander to new more inquiring minds to try keep the fairy stories going.
