I am not an atheist either, but then again, I don't believe in your bible either, so I guess that would make me an atheist in your eyes anyway.

And so what if Genesis is not supposed to be taken literally, why does that discredit anything in the bible.

I am still trying to figure that out, if the bible is not taken literally, but is taken with the understanding that you will be taught a moral lesson from that story, it is somehow discredited? Why is that?

You guys are hard to figure out sometimes.

If you can't believe Genesis literally, then who gets to pick and choose what is real and what is parable? There are absolutely no limits to that.

What sort of "moral lesson" is there in God creating the world? An analogy would make absolutely no sense there, in addition to making the entire Bible unreliable.
