Atheists often do realize that some believe that the Bible is "the word of God" Not everyone believes that. You are going to have a difficult time, at best, confronting a someone who does not subscribe to current monotheistic theory by presenting them with the Bible. In many cases, given the fact that the person is an Atheist, the bible caries no sway because they do not believe in the being who supposedly influences its writing, or dictated its words (as you seem to believe. I'm not going to comment on anything else...I just want to point out one other thing. There are 6.6 million people on this Earth, and there are countless religious groups. Some count many members, some few. There are those who claim to be of the same faith, but somehow completely disagree with one another on the meaning of that faith....Christians can count themselves among those people. The funny, and brilliantly entertaining facet of that phenomenon is, that each of these groups is utterly convinced of the veracity of its beliefs and in the error of those held by others. Only one group can be right....it might be that none are. Subjectivity and self importance are the enemies of thought and consciousness...and young lady, please wipe off your makeup and let us all see what your God actually created. Why must you hide your face? OK….stop right there. Atheists often do realize that some believe that the Bible is “the word of God” Not everyone believes that.
