One should understand the story of Noah to be symbolic of the time of the End- where GOD destroys everything except the righteous people. One key marker of this is the re-establishment of Israel. Does being an atheist include being vicious towards religion? This is the beginning of a belief system.

Why should one understand the story to be symbolic? Have you read Genesis? There is no reference to taking the story as symbolic that I am aware of. How are we supposed to separate what is symoblic allegory as opposed to literal truth? I hear so much speak from christians about reading the bible in context, well I certainly have read it in context - and nowhere does it imply that even 1% of what is contained within should be taken as symbolic allegory.
I'm open to persuasion, show me what I've missed?

Actually, you are right, Jason. It isn't symbolic allegory. You haven't missed anything there. Good job.
