Some people can be religious and understand metaphor: some people can be atheist and understand metaphor. Some prime can be religious and interpret religion literally: as can some atheists (eg ” those people believe all the species on earth fit on a boat" when obviously, many religious don’t). I’m reading statements that make good points, either way. Maybe peer review being more stringent would address a lot?
