I think it depends on whether one's beliefs, whether Jewish (it's Judaism, btw...) Chrisitan or Muslim, are fundamentalist beliefs. The vast majority of people subscribing to any religion probably don't think their holy book is a literal work. I know for certain most Jews think it's allegory.
perhaps thats the case for judism but I wouldn't make that same bet on christianity. The majority of christians iv'e encountered see the bible as a historic time line that depicts facts rather than mythical allegories meant to guide in the same fashion as greek and roman mythology.
