Christian mythology is kind of awesome

It's all subjective, so whatever floats your boat. But personally, I find the bible boring as heck. And I think most people do, since even the religious don't read it for fun. The characters are flat, the plots contrived, and stories tend to end with god arbitrarily smiting someone or everyone, and it's not even clear why. And that's the best of it, mostly it's tedious head scratching rants about shellfish and lists of begats.

It's not just that it's religious, other religions -- Greek, Norse, Hindu -- have far more entertaining mythology. And anyway if you're into swords-and-wizards I like the modern stuff better -- Conan, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, etc.
