There are no accurate statistics on how many Christians have read The Bible in its entirety. It is important to remember that to read and understand the Bible as you go can be a serious challenge to faith. There are so many errors, improbabilities and inconsistencies in the Bible that arguably many who read it in this manner might cease to be such committed Christians by the time they finished the task.
all of itThe previous poster is incorrect. Most Christians have not read the entire bible. Ask them and they'll admit it. Unless they're lying, which is a sin.
they read it twice a day!
Not only Christians read the bible. Did you know that the Old Testament comes from the Hebrew scriptures of Judaism? Even atheists -- those who do not believe in gods -- read the bible. There are so many contridictions, violence, and even pornography! Go ahead. Look up Ezekiel 23:20 and tell me that this should be read to good little children.
Most are told to read the bible because it is the "word of god." Actually, it has many authors, all men, and was written a long time ago and translated several times.Surprisingly, most Christians have not read the entire bible -- just the passages that might interest them or those mentioned in sermons.Christians read the Bible because it is the word of God and it is living and powerful, it judges the desires and thoughts of the heart. Also it is valuable for correcting faults, rebuking error and giving instruction for living.From the Bible a Christian can learn more about God and His ways as revealed in the Bible's account of the history of mankind. A Christian can also be encouraged by the accounts of the men and women of faith throughout history.
For this you must begin at Genesis and read the entire Bible 1 chapter a day and the Lord will reward you with great wisdom....
It is difficult to provide an exact number, but surveys suggest that while a majority of Christians own a Bible, a much smaller percentage have read the entire text. Different denominations and individuals have varying levels of familiarity with the Bible.

The Christians read the Bible quite often but its really important to them to read the bible.

Yes. They are Christians, so they read the bible.
They went to Church and had it read out to them
----------------------- Christians are all different. Perhaps a small minority read the Bible twice a day, but many never read the Bible except in church, if in fact they attend. No doubt others read it occasionally, even daily. The reasons some read the Bible so frequently can vary from strengthening their faith, to overcoming doubts, or simply because they find the Bible inspirational.
Christians read the holy bible.
That would probably be 'The Satanic Bible' by Anton LaVey.
Many people try to read as much of it as possible, some read the whole bible, but it is very rare to read the entire bible passionately in order and remember everything. Everytime I read the bible I find something new even if it is a passage I have previously read. I would have to say that the bible is an infinite book.
