Fewer Bibles Found Around Hotels

    They used to be next to the phone book inside of hotel nightstands all around country, but now they seem to be disappearing.

    FOX’s Jim Mackay reports: 

    Bibles, almost every major hotel chain at one point had a Bible inside of their nightstands, in fact 10 years ago, hospitality analytics group STR said 95 percent of hotels had a copy of the Bible in their hotel rooms.

    This year however, only 48 percent, nearly cut in half. A Marriott spokesperson recently told the Los Angeles Times that right now Bibles do not fit into the current marketing and target areas that they offer to their customers. Also a lot of hotels are now deciding to not offer any religious materials, so they’re not showing bias to a particular faith.
