I agree, and that's how the Bible should be read, as a series of critiques of religious norms (polytheism, idolatry), and of subversive satires (Jesus's heroism of the underdog replacing the Homerian hero who defends social conventions).

I'm not sure, then, what your objection is supposed to be. Just because the end of the Bible comes across to me as an aesthetic letdown, doesn't mean the rest of the Bible can't be read aesthetically, too, or as human literature. Jack Miles' book, God: A Biography makes this clear.

Also, this article is somewhat facetious, so you might be making too much of it.
