The bible is good to read because there are many literary and lyrical allusions to the bible.
As far as faith searching goes, reading the bible is just going to bore you to death, and then you'll know for sure if there's a god or not.
It won't hurt you to dabble in it, but Semitic religions are not the only ones to profess belief in god/gods. If you want to make sure you have faith in no faith I suggest a more active exploration. Talk to people (of different religions) who believe in god, visit different churches/mosques/temples and ask questions, travel and get different opinions. It's not a debate you have to win, so be respectful and you will learn so much more.
Is it normal to be an atheist but read the bible?
