Religious texts

If we assume that there is no God, and therefore the central basis of the Bible was in error, would that make it any less valid as a source of spiritual thought, and social/moral guidance?

I think the bits of it that say "do .../don't do ... because God said so" would become worthless. Some of the things are good things so would still have the intrinsic worth they have to me as a non-eutheist, such as not killing people, but some of the edicts that have caused the most violence and misery in the world would be removed, leaving the people that hold to them having to admit that the reason they used to do them was in fact because they were bigots and had found a convenient hook to hang it on.
