I'm an atheist myself, but I think there are some good lessons from the bible. I don't see anything wrong with cherrypicking the parts you agree with and discarding what you think is outdated/morally incorrect/silly/etc. In fact, I think a lot of good can come from that. I actually think people should look towards many religions and view them for their philosophical qualities
