You can read the Bible without believing certain elements (the supernatural aspects) are true. If you're using facts you found in the Bible to make your argument, what does it matter if you believe Jesus is the son of God?

Does the Bible magically change its contents depending on who is reading it? No.

Just because someone might not believe in the supernatural aspects to the Bible doesn't mean they can't use it as a contemporary text of the time. Some places and people mentioned in the Bible are certainly real, as are historic occurrences. Those things can be used to make an argument no matter if the person making the argument is Christian or not.

As long as someone can differentiate between fact and opinion, it shouldn't matter if a person is Christian or not, in this case.

It's also an issue of being able to use the content found in the Bible as the basis for an argument, even if you don't believe in the supernatural elements of the Bible.

For instance, someone can agree with the teachings of Jesus that are found in the Bible without actually believing in the divinity of Jesus.
