At this point, the bible is as relevant to me as Harry Potter or Grimm's Fairy Tales.
Assuming you have any interest in living in a free society, the Bible is relevant to you whether you believe in God and Jesus or not. The reason your inalienable rights are inalienable is because of the Bible.

Wrong. It is because everybody agreed that they were and then codified it into law.

To illustrate this I will have some atheists popping out of the wood work to negatively remark on my level of education and the institute from which I received my post-secondary education. Because those things only matter to them when you disagree with whatever they proclaim dogmatic.
Then only a few posts later....

Actually, biological systems are not haphazard. There is something referred to as irreductible complexity. That is certainly not a terminology from religion. It's something that can only be pondered when someone begins to think deeply about the way biological systems (such as reproduction), or even biological systems and processes, such a vision (the eye), electro-mechanics (cardiovascular systems), etc.
'irreductible complexity"?
I think you mean irreducible complexity. It's an idea that comes from the ID/Creationist crowd and has been disproven. Read up on Michael Behe and the Dover trial.
I find those who are most passionate about their non-belief are the ones debating it on the Internet. Most Atheists quietly go about their lives, but those you encounter online are often mean and insulting, whose motivation seems to be more about hate for religion than discussing Atheism.
Look at what we're dealing with.
We're no more mean and insulting than the religious idiots who draw us out.
Keep your make believe sky daddy and beliefs out of our laws and our lives and, voila, issue ended.
