I find it reasonably easy to also filter out the control mechanism stuff in the bits of the bible I have managed to read long enough.
Sometimes not much is left there, but enough to see some use or truth or intelligent understanding of how things are.
The Bhagavad Gita is perhaps the more scary one, even though it tries to teach the same thing or even at a higher level, the inward journey, it too is filled with words of humans. Translations and all I guess, but I still wonder how an actual God would de-scribe men and women together. Many of these scripts are male centric in at least their language, but often too in details regarding the elevation of men above women. That is usually the biggest hurdle I see in claims such books are the word of God that haven't been tainted or altered by 'man'. However, the one script which has a female lead has its own problems and in my eyes is, if there was such a thing, Luciferian, so I guess if one wants to take any of it with some form of seriousness, one is back to filtering out the muddy words of humanity and just understanding it was the same back then as it is now in that respect.
