Today, I checked out all the books in my house, and also noticed the amounts of bibles. Turns out there are five of them, in a family where nobody believes in god.
That is not surprising. One does not have to believe in God to have an interest in the Bible or religion. In fact, I have seen a couple of atheist on this forum who appear much more well studied and versed on the Bible and the history of Christianity than the many of the Christians I have encountered in real life.

there is my point, you holy book says something doesn't make it valid for proof, take scientology, they think some alien overlord (Xenu) bainished criminals to earth (Transported in DC 8 looking things), hid them in volcanoes and blew them up with hydrgen bombs and now those criminal souls inhabit humans (Thetans).
