Glad to hear that! I'd recommend checking out the Yale introductions to the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and New Testament which are freely available on YT. They're lecture series which introduce the concept of the historical critical method and explore the influences on different parts of the Bible, and it's really fascinating stuff!

Almost forgot to mention this banger of a video It's basically about the origins and development of the biblical Yahweh, well-worth a watch.

I'm glad to find people who are interested in this! Once you get past dogmatic Christianity and/or an aversion to anything religious, the Bible is fascinating to study. You're in for a treat!
