I am glad you can look at things objectively. Nevertheless, what good is it to take a neutral stand? Seeing things objectively? This is illogical. Whether if you determine there is a God and you feel the Bible does not relate to God. You may need to seek out another religious book or make your own.
You must admit the other alternative is there is no God. So whatever you do will be futile if that is the case. The only logical conclusion is to direct our efforts to please whatever entity created us.
Choosing a side doesn’t mean you know for sure. It means you make the best logical decision for the information you have. Error often is to be preferred to indecision. If everyone sat and made no conclusions until they had absolute proof, nothing would be done. No airplanes, no cars, no science, no religion, nothing. Greatness is never achieved through indecision. Everyone would be just thinking. We all must make the best decision for the information we have. Working in harmony with your decision helps progress, growth, and understanding to be made.
This is just food for thought. If you see an error in my thinking please point it out. I am trying to grow! Fire helps growth! That's why I enjoy communicating viewpoints with yourself,ZeusAres42,Plaffelvohfen, Neopesdom, ethang5, etc. It helps us remove the impurities from our viewpoints, and replace with stronger materials.

You say .....Galileo, Einstein, and Newton were all religious and this didn't hinder their objectivity
My reply....Galileo and Newton were like everyone else at the time they lived in ....religious , Einstein was not he thought such Christian beliefs were childish I agree........
Einstein stated that he believed in the pantheisticGod of Baruch Spinoza.He did not believe in a personal Godwho concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings, a view which he described as naïve.He clarified however that, "I am not an atheist",[4] preferring to call himself an agnostic,or a "religious nonbeliever."Einstein also stated he did not believe in life after death, adding "one life is enough for me."He was closely involved in his lifetime with several humanistgroups.
It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.
In a letter to Eric Gutkinddated 3 January 1954, Einstein wrote in German, "For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people-to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power.

You say .......many people know Einstein did not believe in a personal God so to speak and you are simply wrong about everyone being religious back in the days of galileo and newton. worst case of generalizing I have ever seen
My reply .....”Worst case ever” .....Hilarious so the whole of Europe was Christian or claimed to be yet I’m “generalizing”?
. You say .....
The roman catholic church was more of a form of a government that a religious body and many peasants of the time refused to accept not only the laws imposed by them but also disregarded the beliefs
My reply ......So tell me if Catholicism was the main religion of the times and I’m “generalizing “ were they all atheists then as I’m wrong about them being religious you claim , you really are offensively

‘Certain it is that a conviction, akin to religious feeling, of the rationality or intelligibility of the world lies behind all scientific work of a higher order. This firm belief, a belief bound up with deep feeling, in a superior mind that reveals itself in the world of experience, represents my conception of God. In common parlance this may be described as "pantheistic".’ - Ideas and Opinions by Albert Einstein, Crown Publishers, New York, NY, USA, pp. 261–62, 1954
