How many Bibles are sold every year? And how much are they sold for? And all together how much money is made selling bibles every year?

I guess it is in the hundreds of millions 98% for American believers in Paganized Christianity. The number of American published Bibles probably outnumbers rational science texts and books at least 100,000 to 1.
That is why the USA ranks so low compared to First World Nations in Science Literacy, Math skills, Geography, Geology, Astronomy, life expectancy, infant mortality. You are a Third World nation rules by a !% minority (Oligarchy) of Billionaires and their Corporations. Jefferson's Republic and Lincoln's Democracy are vague memories of the past.
How can an Oligarchic Totalitarian State invade other countries with the excuse of bringing them democracy. If they believe that, where are they getting that democracy? Personal freedom in most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, and Iceland is greater than in the USA.
I am not anti-American. I love the Americans I have known in the past. I feel their tragedy of having lost their freedom in recent decades.

Religion is a very shady area. Maybe people just don't know the answers, but since I've been on this site I haven't gotten one straight answer. I think that the Founding Fathers would have been ashamed by what the United States has become, but there are some freedoms that I personally could do without. Like the right to bear arms, and freedom of religion. Freedom of religion gives people the power to behave delusional, lie, and get away with it. I find it ironic that psychiatrists can be religious, because religion is founded in a belief that can't be proven, delusion. The way I see it there should be less churches in the United States than when the founders were around, but there are more, and the United States has even aided in establishing religious states like Israel, the Vatican, they've made the Saudis rich, and they just established a religious state in Afghanistan. There's only one atheist in Congress. It should be the other way around. I can't trust a Congress that is composed of delusional people.
Even Aleister Crowley is said to have recommended that his son, Randall Gair, read the King James Version of the Bible, together with Shakespeare, to develop style. Those who have been raised to both read and memorize books, a collection of which the Bible is, are, increasingly, easily distinguishable from those raised on Gameboy, those who text their monosyllabic messages in acronyms to and from cell phones, and those who grunt along to the so called lyrics of Snoop Dog. With that said, I would rather my children be educated by the Jesuits, for example, and with a switch to the Douay-Rheims, than practically any given (secular) Philip Dru-Administrator of what Americans call "public" and Karl Marx called "government" schools. At least that way, when they graduate from Catholic School, I might expect that they will be able to not only conjugate a verb but also divide a fraction.
