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.
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.

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.

That would probably be 'The Satanic Bible' by Anton LaVey.

Is this a joke? If not, 35%.
the earliest christians were able to read the bible...if they could read. Once the bible was translated to latin in the vulgate, it became out of reach for most believers. This was done because latin was the language of the educated. What kept them from reading was not that they weren't allowed but that they didn't have a bible and they couldn't read latin.
Christians do not worship any book, but the do read and study the Bible. They may give thanks for it, and feel blessed at have the opportunity to read it but that is all.

----------------------- 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.
