>What are some books you'd say are more accepted or relatable by and for atheists
Ecclesiastes is the obvious one since it deals with the fact that without God you basically have no choice but to accept nihilism. Ecclesiastes, Job and Proverbs are called the wisdom books and they work together.

The Psalms are a nice read too

>I also have some questions about the figure of the fallen angel, evil, hell as an intrinsic part of the nature of God
There's not much in the Bible about those really. Fallen angels are briefly mentioned in Revelation but are mostly absent from the rest of the Bible. Satan in the Old Testament has the job of 'adversary', the one who accuses. Apparently he's like a prosecutor whose job it is to expose faults in people, which he does to Jesus by attempting to tempt him in Matthew. Likewise with hell, it's characterized as a place with fire, it's called "Gehenna" which was a valley in which trash was burned.

I think it's a shame it's quickly becoming irrelevant in western culture because it's still one of the most insightful works on the human condition ever compiled.
