There are plenty of fundamentalists in many religions who insist that since their Holy Scriptures are the True and Unchanging word of God, they must be interpreted literally.

And within each religion, there are those prepared to fight over their insistence that only their own interpretation is the true one…

I am well aware of that, but “the Bible is not meant to be interpreted literally” suggests evidence for an implied command of a very broad nature. That is not the same thing as disagreement about this or that interpretation of a sentence, word, letter, comma after countless language translations.
