Since I am not a follower of any of the worlds varied religious myths,would it be allowable for me to use holy books such as Quran,Bible ,Torah etc as kindling.

Better than burning people, which has been a tradition in some of the religions you allude to.

Do what you want. I encourage it. It's been historically evident that christianity thrives, survives and grows exponentially under oppression. So burn some bibles and persecute as many christians as possible. We need people like you to excite us out of stagnation.
But I wonder why you would even ask a question like this anyway? Who asks for permission to burn anything? Would it be a question of morals if someone burned a Greek Mythology book? Your very question alludes to a keen understanding that it is in fact wrong to burn things like the Bible, Torah, etc. It seems like you are trying to get a permissive statement from as many people as possible so you can set aside all conscience on the matter and make an otherwise meaningful decision subject to the meaningless intellect of the mob mentality. I suggest you be more honest with yourself and make the decision on your own.

As it is allowable for me to answer you "question" with this quote:
"The idea of God, with all conception of Him, having been thus rent asunder, it is my purpose to treat, in their order, of God the Creator, of the Lord the Redeemer, and of the Holy Spirit the Operator, and lastly of the Divine trinity, to the end that what has been rent asunder may be again made whole; which is done when the reason of man is convinced by the Word and by light therefrom that there is a Divine trinity, and that the trinity is in the Lord God the Savior Jesus Christ, like the soul, the body, and what goes forth from these, in man; and that thus this article in the Athanasian Creed is true:"
"In Christ God and man, or the Divine and the Human, are not two, but are in one person; and as the rational soul and the flesh are one man, so God and man are one Christ." -- True Christian Religion n.4[3]:

If you have purchased them and they're your property, they're yours to do with as you please.
I am not religious, but I own all of the above and would never burn them--not because I fear the wrath of any god, but because they contain passages of beauty and wisdom. Even the nonsense tells me how ancient peoples thought and helps me understand some of the seemingly unfathomable things modern religious people do.

That would show an awful lot of disrespect for peoples of the earth and their idea of God.
But if that's what you want to do, go ahead. Going into politics?

That would be kind of expensive, if you have to pay for them.
You could get free kindling by signing up online for free mailings from tell-a-lie-evangelists.

Books should never be burned, even the bad ones.

Kindling, toilet paper, fish-wrap. It's no more holy than the National Equirer, just not as credible.

I actually have done this.
They don't burn that well.
I think maybe the BS content is too high or something.
Love and blessings Don
