No, it doesn't Bobby.
The Abrahamic bible is nothing more, or less than, a
fantasy-fiction story cobbled together over 400 years
by a bunch of illiterate desert nomads living in tents.
The books of the bible weren't written continuously. For
example, 400 years elapsed between the completion of
the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi, and the
beginning of the New Testament with the gospel of Matthew.
There are simply no "answers" in a book that's millennia
old that're relevant in a scientifically-enlightened, 21st
century, and secular country like Australia.
If we could somehow burn every bible in the world today,
we'd not see one iota of our society change in any way
tomorrow. In fact, without the influence of this silly story
book, we might actually notice an improvement in societies
the world over.
Less wars based in the name of religions for example.
This is a grouping of
civil wars which occurred primarily
because of religious controversies.
The scourge of religions—including Christianity—have since
time immemorial been a source of wars, killing, control, and
social oppression globally.
Jejune nonsense, worthy of a dull 13 year old: 'every society in history had some sort of religion. Every society in history fought wars and had internal hierarchies - therefore religions
