  I think your view is biased. I don't see how "the story of Genesis is
only an allegory, it did not happen literally" would discredit the entirety
of christianity. For example the "sanctity of marriage" (assuming there is
such a thing) doesn't become any less so if the story of creation is
allegorical.
