Atheists are weirder tbh

I'm an atheist myself and can't dispute that I'm a weird person, but I have my reasons for my beliefs that are just as sound as anyone's reasons for being religious. Moreso, because I've seen what is out there, and I know (more than anyone else) that there is no such thing as 'God' at all. And there doesn't need to be. But, to each his own.

Exactly. I’ve seen what I’ve seen and known what I know and done my research and came to the realisation that there is a God.
Anyway, if the Bible isn’t real, how would having a famous story about Samson be any different to having a logo based on little red riding hood? Or the fact that “Goliath” in our society is basically a synonym for “large”

And that's fine if it works for you, but I hate to say it (and it won't matter anyway) but - there really is not a god of any kind at all. Even if I wanted to believe in one, I now know for certain there isn't any such thing, at least not by the definition humans use for what a 'god' is.
The bible is real, it's a real book - a work of fiction, but a real book. It has some interesting passages in it, but I don't consider it any more "real" than the book the Wizard of Oz or any other work of fiction.
