Good on you, Ken. Yeah: stay out of it that way.
And I think even atheists can acknowledge the outside & the gift, they
just might never capitalize that whatever. And many deeply committed
people of faith are at least able to get that such wonderful writing as
is found in various holy books is rich in such things as metaphor,
symbolism, etc. It's because it digs deeper than mere fact that it
touches people.

O baby, get out of Egypt –
This history is not for you,
Get out of there, out of my path,
Out of my speechless mouth, the Egypt shrieking
a redundant, plundering tongue . . .
An ancient slang speaks through me like that.
