I think that is about the most ridiculous question I've ever read! How can you assume, that ones religious beliefs have anything to do with how many or kind of books they have read. I have read everything from The Little Engine That Could to War and Peace. And I am a Christian!

I love so many books I could never narrow it down to 7. I am a Christian. I have read books ranging from fiction - Hemingway and the Old Man and the Sea and too many others to count, to non-fiction - biographies of past Presidents, celebrities, politicians, the Cola Wars, to religion, various, to Bart Erman. Go figure, because I am a Christian.
