No, religion is not a black and white issue, although the religious bigots are doing their best to blacken it.
When I was a teen, my grandmother bought a set of self-learning books. She really minded her short education, even if 8th grade was pretty common in her day. I ended up with her books, including this self-learning set. I started reading the volume about Literature. The books are basically set up to tell you what to focus on, and what to read for. This book said that the Old Testament had some of the oldest examples of Western literature in existence. I had always had trouble reading the Bible, but reading it as literature instead of a religious text, helped me dive into it and read with better understanding.
I don't doubt that I will live my whole life questing. All of us who think twice will.
Happy Hump Day-less boring than Monday, less exciting than Friday
