I've always found it rather amusing that most all Christians in America view "The God Story" as the one that was put together (The Bible) out of a wide variety of Jewish texts and the Catholic sect of Christians in the early third century CE by a Roman Traditionalist who was fighting for the Imperial throne and thought that Catholic Christians would be most helpful (as opposed to, say, Gnostic Christians). A large number of Christian texts, stories, letters, etc from Christian activists were ignored, and the remaining Jewish texts weren't considered important; and since then the story of Islam just wasn't very helpful (even though it talks about "God" as well).

So what I find interesting is why Atheists tend to stick only to this one story as well.
