Well most people choose to ignore the genocides, the infanticides, the human sacrifices, and so forth and concentrate on the more ...commercial bits like love your neighbor and what not. However, I think if you recognize the true origins of the book, that is a purely human one, you can appreciate the good things and discount the superstitious nonsense without getting too wound around the axle about it. Its when people insist that the thing is the product of a supernatural creator god and is the key to understanding the universe and our place in it that things get a bit unreasonable. Or so it seems to me.
