Christians I've met over here (UK) don't really take much of the bible literally.
"You're not meant to take it literally" they will laugh, when say you ask about Hell.
"How you decide which parts are literal?" you may ask.
"It's obvious" will be the reply.
The advice seems to be "Read the Gospels first, they're the good bits". They don't seem to want you to start at Genesis, even though this is the normal way to read a book.
