Fundamentally in this short existence & life span of a human being , there are leaders & followers, those that are intrinsically life affirming & essentially lovers of their fellows & life itself. Then there are the demonizers, which has nothing to do with belief in deities, spirits or being an atheist...that would be you brummy. With all that you differentiate by positing a "God", all men are the same in reality on terra firma, what was of value in any scripture itself revovled around basic philosophy & common sense.
One hearkens back to Shakespearean England where the Catholic persecutions were being carried out, if you were caught even harboring a priest the various tortures were many, sentences ranged from being pressed to death or drawn & quartered, and this was just merry 'ol England. And yet they all believed in one "God the Father" and all loving Christ, let the demonizing begin.
(and one never got caught poaching on another man's land, especially if it belonged to the king & crown)
