Then they’re not (that) religious for believing them as such. Simple.
Again, scripture was written primarily for the respective age when it was written. It is how people interpreted it as close to that original age as possible that should be a gauge of how faithful they are to scripture. Hence, fundamentalism.
So if religious people don’t believe in the part that you find unbelievable, they aren’t religious to you.
I think you’ve defined yourself into a corner.
