From time to time I reread Carl Becker's "The Heavenly City of the Eighteenth Century Philosophers." It is a short and delightful book, written by a history professor of all things! It always brings a smile to my face to read, "They courageously discussed atheism, but not before the servants."
That issue always came up when post-Christians ask whether God actually exists: "...but where would morality come from, if there was no God?"
Keep that old trope in mind when you watch videos of Gazan children being pulled out of the rubble left by the Judeo-Christian tradition, acting through its military technology. Great work, YHWH! You were always such a charmer.

These books written by men, I'm not so sure it hasn't been the biggest of all the lies, lasting over 2000 years. The stories are much, much older. Gilgamesh is the oldest story but Summerian in origin.
