Well, if you want to avoid talking about religion when talking about the bible, you have to pick up your assembly one by one. You also have to choose well your ideas and theme. Ultimately, if you want to talk about the bible without referring to religion, or christian denomination in particular, you still have to pick up one bible for reference, which one is yours?
Mine is the TOB. And I am sure, we will find many huge differences between whatever yours is and mine. So there goes the confusion. Thus, you can not talk seriously about the bible outside a religious dogma.
Take the dead sea scrolls for example. Which bible have "update" its status since this absolutely outstanding discovery? None! To me, it is not about the word of God, (I even avoid using God as name anymore, I prefer using Creation, since it is what I see as true and practicable) it is all about religious dogma. Why the bible is not written anymore if its the word of God, God has stop talking to us?
Anyway, I could go filling up three pages of arguments on this issue. You got to realize it is the tool of a belief system corrupted to direct the readers on sins and victim consciousness. In this regard, Jesus is not a savior, nor a lord, but a brother with a mission to assist our awakening, nothing more nothing less... The only thing which deserve our worship is Creation itself, that is what Jesus was telling us, where is it in the bible today? He also came to educates us about the Universal of consciousness shaping our realities. It is still in the gospel, but very fragmented, someone not aware of this can hardly see it.
