You also seem to lack a developed sense of humor which goes along with such wooden literalism.

There are Islamic and Jewish chaplains, and from what I understand, the chaplain's duty is pretty much a matter of counselling rather than a religious vocation. For that, no particular religious belief should be an impediment.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Caedmon's Hymn and Beowulf were written in Anglo Saxon [Old English]. Langland's Piers Ploughman and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales were written in Middle English and Bunyan was writing in what is, to all intents and purposes, Modern English.
Shakespeare did not write in "olde" English either.
