Really? So you are trying to be a novelist and yet you haven't read a single book in years - how does that work?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Every writer must eventually put down the books of others in order to write his own.

Nah, just copy the story and change a few details.

Most of my favorite authors are voracious readers as well.
Why is it so?

Rereading the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. It's delightful garbage.
