The snake (of the trouser variety) tempts Eve with the forbidden fruit (hanky panky) that she shares with Adam. The consequence of which is painful childbirth.
They’re even specifically stated to be naked for this situation.

As an atheist who has barely read the bible, this explanation makes a thousand times more sense to me than “smart girl gets punished for seeking knowledge also there is a snake who is the devil for some reason, don’t ask questions, it makes perfect sense”
Also knowing that “the devil” is a more modern invention that was barely in the original bible or the new testament, I was always confused why people assume this snake was the devil.
