What is a good way to start? Is there , like, a Religion For Dummies book or something?
Oi, there's so much out there it's really hard to know where to start. Popular books are a good place to at least get an idea of where you'd like to dig into.

The Bible Unearthed is a good book about the time that the Hebrew Bible came out of, so might be a good place to start.

This is a good resource for good books as well, the Biblical Criticism & History forum has a number of knowledgeable posters and a huge searchable archive of discussions on every topic imaginable.
