There have been various books written about the Bible by amateurs that attempted to "demythologize" it by having most of the stuff happen but with natural explanations. I can see the point of a big Hollywood production not wanting to lend support to an absurd myth while at the same time wanting to make money off the story. But I do think that it makes the whole atheist position seem stupid to believers. Believers end up thinking atheists accept that everything in the Bible or most of it happened but there were just natural explanations for it which makes them think atheists just believe in ridiculous levels of coincidence rather than a deity. People who don't understand natural laws already think that.
