I would of answered your question but I was too busy correcting your errors.

I don't have the faintest idea what percentage of the bibles purchased goes towards replacing the millions of damaged bibles in Christian churches. I didn't even know there was millions of damaged bibles. Are they worn out from use or is there a church mouse epidemic I haven't heard of?

Seriously now, if you read the article I provided it suggested that a good
chunk of Americans read the bible at least weekly. It also pointed to a lot of sales consisting of study bibles that include commentary,dictionaries, maps, ect. These wouldn't be purchased to sit in church pews.

Also, not all churches have bibles in there pews or for handing out to sunday school. We don't. Everybody brings there own to services. The Bible I use would be one of the millions that wouldn't be counted in that articles totals. It is a King James version published by a church publishing house. There are many local church publishing houses in the States which publish a wide range of Bibles. They are sold at cost or given away. There are two churches right in Alberta that I know about which publish partial New Testaments to be handed out. Try goggling "Bearing Precious Seed".
