Being brought up in a Quaker family I feel that Quakers do not doubt that The Bible was divinely inspired. Most Quakers felt and feel that the Bible is a holy book that should be read to further your knowledge of a related religion. But, and this is a point that is commonly confused with the root of your question, most Quakers do not believe the words and how the Catholic church proclaims that they are true. This is often confused with not believing in the divinity of the Bible. I hope this helps answer your question and I thank you for taking an interest in a topic such as this.

What would be different if the Bible were not inspired?
If the Bible is inspired - then that's how it is. We believe it is inspired - none of the authors have said that they were inspired - that came later, and from other people.

As it is, many people don't believe the bible to be inspired - and some of them disregard the book, others of them just look on it as a book containing incredible wisdom and life-advice.
