Yeah, it was not written by Bronze Age goat herders or compiled in the Dark Ages.
I've found that a lot of atheists don't use terms like this literally. They are comfortable, in their own language, speaking in metaphor or allegory.
You're right.
It's based upon myths by Bronze Age goat herders which were eventually compiled into written form by Bronze Age priests.
Later, many myths were created around a semi-mythical man-god named Yeshua, which were then compiled into the bible by a group of men who decided which myths will be included and which won't.
Then it has been re-written and re-translated hundreds of times.
