>At the same time, I'm not sure it means very much. Buying the bible does not guarantee that one is a believer. I have two versions of the bible myself. I also have the Apocrypha, the 'Lost Books of the Bible', the Nag Hammadi Library, the Koran, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, The Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Necronomicon, and a few other odds and ends that I've collected over the years. I am not a 'follower' of any of their teachings. They are all interesting in their own ways, but that's all. I still see them all as mythologies.

Agreed, it really doesn't prove much, except from the obvious fact that the Bible is popular. (I remember reading somewhere that one of the greatest bestsellers of all times was a book with the sayings of Mao Dzedong - everyone was forced to have one of those.)
