Saying "the Bible is our creed" seems to be essentially saying "a collection of history and poetry books written in various ancient languages thousands of years ago and recently translated into our language is our creed" - regardless of whether such a collection of books is inspired or not I can't see how that could that actually work in practice. It seems to me a creed is of most value and benefit when it is a short summary that succinctly describes a system of thought. Anything beyond that is more likely to squash rather than promote discovery of truth. That being said, I think everyone has some sort of creed, whether they admit it or not. As you said, we need to be honest about that.
