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.
