The Bible is so hard to read and as someone who never grew up in the church I'm so confused by everything.

Start your reading from the New Testament. You may also want to consider getting a translation that uses more contemporary language. If the problem is that you didn't have world history at school, you may want to check Wikipedia for basics on things like the Roman Empire, but normally that shouldn't be necessary.

In addition to the contemporary language suggestion from >>606464 , also consider getting a Study Bible. These tend to have copious footnotes and supplementary text that gives context to and further elucidates what you are reading.

Make sure said Study Bible's footnotes and additional material is from a spiritual perspective rather than an academic one.
