You do seem stuck on reading the bible literally. If one reads the bible as wisdom stories with no historical basis, then everything can be seen in a different light. No one is stuck with anything. What theists make of what remains from reading the bible in such a light may be as various as the ways atheist find meaning in a life devoid of gods.
