I am actually interested in all religious texts mainly because it tells a bit about the people who invented it. One day I was watching a Rand interview and Rand said that those who cling to religion have a psychological disorder. That was the first time I applied psychology like that to religion.

The Gospels of the Bible are really good if you know what you are reading. You can't just read it like a novel. You have to know the culture of the time period to get a lot of things Jesus says and does. Not to mention, you really have to dig deep looking at the disciples. The gospels could be considered some of the best works of romantic literature even to an atheist.
