There are lots of varieties of atheists, aren't there? While no single tome exists for atheists, there are collections of books. Does one have to adopt them all (many contradictory) in order to be an atheist? Does one have to even embrace a single one of them? Or can one reasonably adopt some ideas and not others and still consider themselves a member of an atheist community?

Your argument seems to be that if you can't swallow whole everything the bible says, then you should leave the community that embraces some of the stories held within.

That just doesn't make sense to me.
