If the bible/quran/whatever was better, would you've remained theist?

Religious narratives already have a fair few good parts to them.  Sure, sure, alot of filler...but that's not the authors faults - the filler is generally an attempt by lesser editors to bridge the gaps between disparate works of fiction or commentary.  Never made me believe in a god regardless.

If the books read, as the poster above suggested...like a physics textbook, I'd simply assume that someone understood physics earlier than we expected them too. It's not as if these books were written by gods.  Human hands, human ink, human paper, human knowledge.

Indeed there are some good parts, so it would ideally better in a fiction section of a libary since they do read as fiction. However, there are those who take these fiction stories seriously as you well know.
