Hotels are often tricked into placing these bibles, thinking that they are there as a service to customers, but nothing could be further from the truth. Those bibles are like loaded guns in the drawers, each one with the potential to convince a vulnerable, lonely or just plain old curious person to throw their life away on a religious fantasy.

These bibles are there for one reason and one reason only - to win more converts to the Christian Religion.

Why, Godless Heathens of course. We are atheists - and that's a very, very good thing.

Atheists don't believe in god. We also realise that spending your life believing a fairy tale is actually bad for you. It's bad for you as an individual, but that pales into insignifiance in the face of just how bad religion is for our world.

Believers are not bad people. They have just been hoodwinked into believing a lie, like victims of a gigantic pyramid scam. Gideon Bibles are one of the ways in which that scam finds new victims, so it's time to do something about them.

Removing the gideon bible from the next hotel room you stay in is probably a good start - be sure to check the legal stuff first, of course. If that's not to your taste, you could always try writing to the owner of the hotel. We have some pertinent questions to ask them over here. If you don't have the time to get involved yourself, then a donation would help the project greatly!
