Christians are not atheists regarding Zeus, Thor, etc because they are not real Gods. They're just made up by the greeks or the norse nations or the romans etc. Whereas the Jewish God, the Christian god, is not made up. Peole had experiances with Him that cannot be looked over.
​
How do you know that Yahweh is not made up any more than Zeus or Amon or any other deity wasn't made up

Re: Symobolic interpretation
It might be that one would have to find the original transcript before any translations to see what the author actually wrote. Could be that by the time of Christ the Greek term for the underworld was hades even though they had adopted Christianity.
