Guys, chill.
   Most religious people are only mildly so, adhering only in the vaguest
   sense to their religions. If they do not adhere to religion their ideas
   are about as inaccurate and dangerous, but they are less synchronized.
   Many people utilize faith for productivity or resolution to the
   existential crisis. Without their faith they would be worse people.
   I think it would be better to write a bible-for-atheists, with guidance
   for living in the modern world. This new scripture should motivate
   critical thinking, max(independence + transparancy), productivity
   (meaning, advancement of the race or a derivative race/structure) and
   satisfaction. Some understanding of the implications of evolutionary
   effects (selection, and how it reflects on the currently existing),
   mathematics, and the nature of energy and the universe (including
   entropy) must be included for a complete and worthwhile picture.
   Spirituality must be explained as a function of the brain, mythical
   events through statistics and human capacity ("No gods but man").
   Simply because we're crazed monkeys and desperately require (very)
   approximate models in order to function. And simply because our
   emotions run amok of us more often than not.
   Until we have this well-reasoned word-of-sanity, the bible (or the
   apparently more recent Koran) might be a better alternative to madness.
   A simple way to soothe troubled souls. Through the evolution applied
   before it's popularity, hard to disprove, infectious and attractive.
   The dark question you might be asking yourself is, where and with whom
   does that leave me?
   I'm very deeply concerned about religion influencing law. This has
   happened forever, and will happen for the foreseeable future. Another
   demon for democracy, which leaves the innocent and well-intentioned,
   but ultimately foolish mass in charge. Or.. doesn't it :) ? (hint:
   chill)
