Christians who read the bible cover to cover are known as Atheists.

shrugs it did not have that effect on me. It did however move me to some very left-wing stances regarding the stewardship of the earth, the care of our fellow humans, and compassion.

Religion, like alcohol, doesn’t put anything into a person that wasn’t already there. People will always find a way to justify their own behavior.
