I see what you're saying, so you mean it places restrictions on your life because you dont perform certain actions for fear of punishment from God?
This isn't true IMO. The Bible is a morale compass, it doesn't forbid good things like swimming in a pool and eating berrys lol, it forbids immoral acts that I dont perform anyway regardless of religion (except for sex before marriage which is pretty standard for todays society). Its made me a better man compared to the dickhead I was in High School so at the end of the day whats so bad? I dont preach the Bible to anyone or try to convert people, I keep to myself about it.
People like the Westborough Baptist Church are terrible though, they ruin the religions image.
