While there have been a number of books which could be characterized as anti-Christian, there are thousands of Christian-themed books published every year.

Which books are the most heavily promoted? Which ones get put up in the most out-of-the-way sheves?

Well, I go to Barnes and Noble all the time. Since I'm interested in religious topics, I often go to the shelves in that area. Tons of books on Christianity are there. Some are good. Some are mediocre.

My point is that one cannot condemn the entire publishing industry for not publishing Christian-themed books. They do so all the time.

They publish books with anti-Christian themes as well. The reader gets to choose which ones they read. For myself, I never read blatant anti-Christian books. They're always over the top.

Every bookstore I go into (I read a good bit, so it is pretty often) has just about as much space allocated for religious materials as any other topic.

My experience does not square with your comments.
