If you're waiting for substantive response to your ideas, steemit might not be the best place. I'm only new here too, but so far I have the impression that the system encourages a lot of fast interaction - upvotes, resteems, "Hi, your post is good! Follow me back!" as I think you're already noticing with the majority of replies here. In depth interaction may be possible, but I think we'll have to spend time and effort and time waiting for those with similar interests, who are willing to spend the time (again) to find each other and read, think and engage.
As for your subject matter, what are you aiming at? Why is the historical accuracy of the Bible important? Surely, it's the message that's important; messages can be conveyed through allegory, often better than through truth. Are you trying to convince others? (tip: you will never convince anyone who believes - they will always shift the goal posts, no matter what evidence you present) or are you still trying to convince yourself?
Has your loss of faith in institutions and literal translations also caused you to question your faith more broadly? In the wake of the beliefs you have lost, are you still trying to work out what to replace them with? (Disclaimer: I am an atheist.)
