If it's allegorical, that stands for some other, hidden meaning. So the question of 'what is the Bible an allegory for?' remains unanswered.Well then let me ask you this. Do you know who God's people are? If not, it's a mystery to you.
It's really not complicated.
God's people are the jewish people. It is their cultural religion.
Every culture developed their own gods, their own creation myth and various stories.
For whatever reason, the jews felt the need to identify themselves as god's chosen people.
