Surfando na web (quando eu deveria estar trabalhando

) encontrei essas estatísticas (desculpem estar em inglês):

ABOUT THE HOLY BIBLE (CHRISTIAN)
Some statistics:
About 92 percent of American own at least one copy of the Bible.
The average household has 3 copies.
About 67 percent of Americans say that the Bible holds the answers to the basic questions of life.
The Bible is the world's all-time best seller.
At least 20 million copies are sold each year.
Gideon International annually distributes more than 45 million copies.
Biblical knowledge (Biblical illiteracy is rampant):
Perhaps 15 percent of Americans participate in Bible studies.
The number of people who read the Bible, at least occasionally is 59 percent.
Less than 50 percent of Americans can name the first book of the Bible (Genesis).
Only 1/3 of Americans know who delivered the Sermon on the Mount (more people identified Billy Graham rather than Jesus).
Twenty-five percent of Americans don't know what is celebrated on Easter (the Resurrection of Christ, the foundational event of Christianity).
Twelve percent of Christians think that Noah's wife is Joan of Arc.
Eighty percent of born-again Christians (including George W. Bush) think it is the Bible that says "God helps them that help themselves." (Actually it was said by Benjamin Franklin.)
Why don't more people read the Bible?
Sixty-four percent of Americans say they are too busy.
Eighty percent say the bible is confusing, probably because they are reading the King James Version with its Shakespearean-era language.
The contemporary language New International Version (NIV) is written at a seventh grade reading level for easier understanding.
Other contemporary language versions include the (liberal) New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), the (liberal) Revised English Bible (REB), and two Roman Catholic versions, The New Jerusalem Bible and the New American Bible (NAB).

http://www.faculty.mcneese.edu/jwhelan/qutoes¬es.htmlNão sei qual a fonte, mas o link é do site de um professor de antropologia, e me parece plausível. A Bíblia do Rei James, que os americanos usam, é bem difícil de se ler mesmo. É engraçado se for verdade que 12% dos cristãos americanos acham que a esposa de Noé é Joana d'Arc

Imagino qual seriam os resultados de uma pesquisa como essa no Brasil...
