The books of Judges, Ruth, and Esther are actually pretty engaging for things from antiquity. Some of the nuance is lost if a person isn’t familiar with the cultures of the time. Anything from 1 Samuel about David’s Mighty Warriors (or Men of Fame, or Mighty Men, depending on translation) is usually pretty engaging as well
People don’t usually get driven from religion because it’s boring, they usually are turned off by hypocrisy. “Do this because God says so. Yes I’m not doing it, but [excuse]”. This is true of any religion. Either the person comes to terms with the gap between doctrine and behavior or they turn away from their religion of origin
