The Bible is the holy, perfect, eternal, redeeming Word of God. It is a powerful thing. However, not everyone is partial to this opinion - especially atheists. Because of this, I won't use something they'll automatically ignore and discredit in my efforts to dialogue with them about God.
That doesn't mean I won't share Scripture where relevant, or tell them Biblical things when I talk to them - it just means that the Bible is the potato on my witness-to-atheists plate, and not the steak.
Atheists don't trust the Bible as reliable, so they won't take Bible verses seriously when you quote them. It's a quick, reliable way to get atheists to tune you out.
