I think there is a problem with people worshipping a book, rather than the ideas that the book contains. Sure, the Bible has a LOT of good, insightful philosophy, but it also has a lot of more questionable stuff. When someone worships a book, they either don't see the objectionable stuff, or they use it to justify bad things. This is where you get the 'the Bible endorses slavery, so slavery is OK' type of arguments. People need to understand that it is a book, written by humans hundreds of years after most of the stories in there. This isn't incompatible with believing in it as scripture: God may be the message, but the messenger may be fallible. The messenger saw a 'truth' and wrote it down. The messenger isn't perfect, so we probably shouldn't expect the message to be. Worship does not need to be slavishly blind.
