When you get right down to it, most religions don't suck. As far as I've seen, most people that are anti-religion see religion as a be-all-end-all rut of worshiping an omnipotent God.
In reality, most people actually just want everyone to stop *****ing about everything and fighting so much. It's only the minority, the radicals, that some people see because they're the only ones that are interesting. Well, at least that's how I see it. I myself am not a very religious person, but when I go to church services, it's an hour where people stop being inconsiderate retards.
Sure, easily most of the bible stories aren't true in the way that they're portrayed, but given all of the major ones (at least at the place where I go to church), the message is pretty clear: Don't be a dick to other people.
EDIT: The bible isn't really the best representation of Jewish and Christian beliefs (or at least that's how it seems to me). It reflects the moral beliefs of its writers of the time, and the translators, more than it imparts actual truth. Truth, in this case, being a supposition of "good" moral values.
Regardless, most ideas of God fall prey to what my philosophy teacher calls "Drawing the bulls-eye around the arrow."
