Maybe 10%; I'm amazed at how little most of my Christian friends know about the bible, and as the atheist I have to explain very basic things to them. My close friend Mike, claims that he reads a little of the Bible almost every morning. Yet, he didn't realize that only four of the alleged authors ever even knew Jesus in person, or that his name wasn't even Jesus. Maybe if it were more interestingly written, people would read it more. What I don't get is that very few people look to the Iliad and the Odyssey to guide them through their every day lives, yet it moves along at a much better pace.

No, and those that have self censor out the bits they are uncomfortable with.

NO. God is a very boring writer, should have employed a good editor.

Good question, I couldn't, or wouldn’t … what a bloody, convoluted, sickening waste of time.. It’s always appeared to me that ‘christians’ lie about many things. Some, they refuse to attempt to understand, others, they dodge at all costs. My guess is their ‘bible’ falls into the latter..

A lot of them can't read.

I would guess, based on my own random sampling of them, that most have read selected verses. Very few have read more than about one tenth of it.

It seems to vary, in predictable ways, by sect. The Catholics and mainline Protestants I've spoken to read the least; the Jehovah's witnesses read the most. I'm not sure about the Mormons, and Evangelicals won't tell the truth anyway, so I don't bother asking.

Whether it's a GOOD thing for them to read their Bibles is something I'm not so sure about. On the one hand, many folks who actually read the thing end up rejecting it. On the other hand, those who read less are (hopefully) more able to adapt to social changes.

Read some perhaps, indepth study of understanding that Jesus is Angelic lord of host Lucifer the devil, No.
