    Great Answer

    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    Many households have Bibles because it is used as a guidebook for their faith. The Bible has been in circulation longer than most other books and is widely available in different translations.

    Identification

    The Bible is the handbook for Christianity, one of the three major religions of the world, the others being Judaism and Islam.

    Significance

    The Bible is the best-selling book of all time, with more than 2.5 billion copies sold.

    Types

    The Bible has been translated into many different languages, lending itself to sales around the world. For example, English language versions include the King James version and New English versions.

    Purpose

    Many Christian households like to have a Bible around for easy reference, whether or not they attend church.

    Fun Fact

    Unlike other best-selling books, the exact date of the publication of the Bible with both testaments together remains unknown and continues to be the subject of scholarly debate.

    Because the majority of people in the USA identify themselves as Christians (80%) so naturally they would have the Book that goes with their faith.
