I have a friend who is a priest. He refers to the Genesis as mythology.

Why does he draw the line at Genesis? Why not the entire Bible?

Because if he admits to himself that it’s all lies his life will have no more meaning. Religious indoctrination is abuse.

Religion sells certainty. The world is a big unknowable mystery, and that's scary. So people are inclined to listen to anyone who is full of certainty and claims to know everything and how it all works and what to do.
