You think these people read the Bible?
It’s very selective. They know Bible stories from Sunday school and have been told a few passages.
It’s a really complicated anthology of books written across 1000ish years (earliest being fragmentary bits of poetry preserved in altered context, most of it being 400 BCE on). Tons of it is related to distant political struggles or cultural norms, stuff so hopelessly distant from us and written in hard to understand language (especially with this KJV only-ists.)
Then, you add 2000 years of history, pop culture, and interpretation. It’s a really difficult text and it’s difficult for anyone to understand without getting a lot of support and context. The context is often presented in a misleading way, pick your denomination and flavor of distortion
