When talking about Christianity, the Bible refers to both the old and new testament. And while Christians don’t typically follow the “laws” in the old testament, it is still a huge part of Christianity

Most Christians probably have never read the Bible? Have you? I have and it’s… a challenge.
And Christians mostly follow the New Testament, btw, not the Bible.

I guess it depends on a few factors, but yeah. Christians aren’t really required to read their holy texts anyway, the clergy have always been the “interface” to the scripture, for… Reasons.

I have little doubt that the percentage of atheists who’ve read the whole bible is significantly larger than the percentage of people who call themselves christians who have done so, and still larger than the percentage of them who’ve only read the new testament.
