Most religious people I know and have meet in m life regard writings in religious books are not to be taken literally.
I also can find many people advocating the Bible proving the Earth is round.

The above are just a sample. You can find many people interpreting the Bible in a way that supports the Earth not being flat.
Really depends on how you want to interpret what you read. I for one have not read any verse in the Bible that makes an absolute statement as to the Earth being flat or spherical. I have only read the English translations so that maybe why I have not seen any definitive statement.
Just curious why you believe God would create a flat Earth and not a roundish one?
Christianity has always had a knack for assimilating whatever popular opinion is at the time so it could be more all-inclusive. It's no surprise to see "Christian scientists" trying to rectify heliocentric theory and their religion.
Some biblical passages that seem to support flat, stationary, geocentric earth:
1 Chronicles 16:30: “He has fixed the earth firm, immovable.”
Psalm 93:1: “Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ...”
Psalm 96:10: “He has fixed the earth firm, immovable ...”
Psalm 104:5: “Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken.”
Isaiah 45:18: “...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast...”
Proverbs 8:27 When He established the heavens, I was there, When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep.
Isaiah 44:24 Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
Joshua 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
One commonly misused passage is:
Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in
Some people say that circle used here implies the earth is round, but the actual Hebrew word used here translates more accurately to "encircle."
Used also in:
Job 26:10 He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters At the boundary of light and darkness.
Job itself is actually the oldest book in the Bible, predating even Genesis. Job 26 is fascinating in and of itself and has a lot of insight into how the ancients viewed the Earth.
