Just like you do too...
Catfish, try to take it in context: everyone interprets christianity the way they want to. The only difference is, doing so from an atheist perspective is more intellectually honest because we're the only ones not taking the words we're interpreting as binding declarations. Disagreeing with your personal interpretation is not the same as having some untenable bias or nonfunctional interpretation ourselves.
If anything, the person advocating that a book be read according to the words written in it is doing what one should.
