There are lots of things about religion that should raise red flags, but for some reason religion has yet to be snuffed out. Since when is it ever a good idea to just take someone's word for it that they're a good person? Why is it a good idea to continue believing in something that doesn't hold up well to scrutiny? The standard procedure of dealing with people that don't believe you about your god is to silence them. Kill them if need be. that's clearly stated in the bible.
If someone in the modern day wrote a book about a character, and this character did the kinds of things that Yahweh/Jesus did in the bible, do you think it would be difficult to convince people that this was the hero? That we should sympathize and root for this person? I think it would be very hard, especially if you attempt to market it to children. Change the names, and maybe make the acts a little different so it's not so obvious, but the character of this person is the same. then get your book published and have them put it in the Y7 section. Maybe Y14. See how that works.
When the inevitable backlash from moral guardians hits, tell them it was inspired by the events of the bible. If this hasn't been done before, someone should really get on it.
