Reasons many Christians not reading the Bible both OT and NT?

As you can see from my 'autobiography' I am not particularly denominationaly religious but interested. I have read the whole Hebrew Bible all the way through **twice** and the whole four Canonical gospels all the way through **four times**. Imagine my surprise when I read that in his 1996 book, *I Was Wrong*, televangelist Jim Baker admitted that the first time he actually read the Bible all the way through was while he was in prison! Similarly, a Pew Research poll in 2010 found that evangelicals ranked only a smidgen higher than atheists in familiarity with the New Testament and Jesus’s teachings. Details (www.pewforum.org ). I ask: what do you think are the reasons for many Christians not reading the Bible both OT and NT?
