There isn't one atheist I know that would tell someone not to read a holly book. We do want theists to read their books, BUT without a hand up their back. We want you to see all the fantastic magical claims and all the moral inconsistencies throughout.
Yes read it, but do so as if you had picked it up for the first time and no one had told you a thing about it before.
Genocide, sexism, incest, slavery, not to mention all the poof magic nonsense.
It's head character is an unmovable figure whom you cannot impeach, vote out of office, or question if it does something you don't like. It condones the murder of outsiders who do not kiss his ass. It sets up the rules without your consent and then blames you for the rules it didn't have to set up in the first place.
To this god, we are nothing more than property, pawns, submissive slaves who must obey or be tortured forever. That moral bankruptcy alone, is enough for me to reject such a god claim. But even without, even before you get to word one of that gang manual, the person has swallowed the idea of an invisible non material magical super brain with a magic wand.
