Atheists: How do you view the story of Newton's apple?

I wrote this up primarily for atheists, but non-atheists can certainly reply from their viewpoint as well (so I will not flair the post). You'll just need to rework the phrasing of the questions to be from your own POV.

As a parallel to how religious people view stories from their religions, how do you view the story of Newton's apple? That is, the story that Newton started thinking about gravity and motion because an apple fell on his head.

Do you view it as historically accurate? Do you view it as historically inaccurate, where the point of the storytelling is to get a different point across? Do you ignore the question of historical accuracy because you are solely concerned with the point it is trying to get across?

Does the way you view the story of Newton's apple apply similarly to the way you view stories from religious sources? In other words, if you view the Newtonian apple story as historically accurate, do you then also view religious stories as historically accurate? And if you view the Newtonian apple story as just storytelling for the point of getting a point across, do you then also view religious stories as just storytelling for the point of getting a different point across?

If there is discrepancy between how you view stories about "scientific experiences" and stories about "religious experiences", how do you resolve the discrepancy (if you do)?

To be clear, I am not asking for the sake of criticizing such comparisons, but instead to evoke thought and discussion about why we think about these stories in the ways we do. Do we remain consistent between topics, or do we treat different topics in different ways? All answers are valid, so long as they are your personal answer (in other words, please don't try to speak for other people or groups, in your initial reply at least).
