No worries I'm not a religion buff though I do try to learn/know my fair share.
What do you make of the changing of the meanings to words in the bible? Back in 'those days' many words that are common for something now meant something different then. I.e Mary being said to be Jesus's companion which to us today tends to mean a travel buddy or friend. Yet back then it was used almost exclusively to mean someone's wife/husband.
Also I think that of the bible itself (same goes for Quran I guess) if two readers of the same book can walk away with different perspectives to the same chapter/sentence/psalm then how can it be the word of God? Surely the word of God which is meant to be read by all would have a universal meaning to all ppl not multiples per person.
Also the fact that every Christian,Catholic,Muslim picks and chooses on an individual basis what is meant physically and what is meant metaphorically is surely cherry picking what they like and agree with over what sounds bad and they dislike.
Also when a story such as Noah's flood is on a Sumerian tablet which predates the bible by a couple thousand years it does show their are grains of truth to the stories but how many grains exactly?
Then there's the fact that the bible is made up of dozens of books whose contents have been cherry picked by a council to represent the religion how can you be a Christian without the full story? You are basically following half a religion while being blind to the rest.
