Because of absolutely moronic literal scripture interpretations. These imbeciles take the Bible as some kind of all-purpose knowledge encyclopedia, instead of a moral guide.
Depends on the subject really, if you remove the bronze age barbarism it actually does have some decent life advice for living in a harmonious way with others, you obviously shouldn’t take anything it says as the final word though, it’s still a book from 3000 years ago with outdated values.
The Bible is not a moral guide. It has some moral rules in it but the vast majority of it is just stories, things like the descriptions of the temple, and hundreds of ways of saying that God is great.
The people who wrote it took the earlier parts of it to be literal truth.

Yes if you ignore all the horrible stuff you get the only good stuff that was already well known at the time of its writing.
