Bible was written for the past. Can atheists stop applying it to today

the Bible was written for the people who lived at the time it was written and so must be read in the context of that time. What is so hard to understand about that?

The Old Testament is a history of the Jewish people, and quite an accurate one.

The New Testament is a record of the values of Christianity.

It always amazes me the people who know so little about either believe that they are experts in both.
