I think too many people shy away from knowing the bible just because they want to feel they are unique, or nonconformist. It's similar to an ignorant person feeling better about themselves not knowing the answer to a question then taking the time to read the book assigned to them in school. Life is too short, knowing about a religion won't make your life any better or worse, it's just information to use as necessary.

I agree with Skysword... the Bible should be treated like a great novel that has highly influenced a lot of people. Like Shakespeare or Jules Verne, I tend to just nod and agree when people bring up books they wrote that I never read... same thing applies with the Bible.
