Truth in religion

Religion has always interested me to a point, but anytime I read anything about any religion, it bores me to hell. I’ve tried reading the Bible, but to me it’s pretty much unreadable. Why people call it “The Good Book”, boggles my mind. It’s anything but.

What really interests me about religions is if any of it is based on actual truths? Did any of these people really exists? Most of the stories in the Bible are obvious made up myths, but is there any truth? I haven’t ran across any good books about the historic accuracy of any religious text yet, but I haven’t really looked either. Are they all bunk or just too old to really know? I don’t know.

One thing I’ve always heard is that atheists know more about Christianity than most Christians do. I pretty sure I don’t, but I was surprised at my result of this quiz. I know it doesn’t mean much, but I got 14 or of 15. Not to bad for someone who knows very little about religions.
