Atheists who haven't gone so far as to make a devotion of their beliefs 
are perhaps in a better position to deal with certain theological 
subjects objectively. The atheist's faith is not committed to the truth 
of a particular version of the Bible.  He disbelieves them all.  Yet 
this allows him to view the Bible as purely a cultural and literary 
artifact.
