Of course the Bible is number one and if a third of the world is in Communist China the Little Red book feels right too.

But Harry Potter for number three?

"There are an estimated 1.6 billion Muslims around the world, making Islam the world’s second-largest religious tradition after Christianity, according to the December 2012 Global Religious Landscape report from the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life."

Yet more people read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone then the Koran. Are there more devoted Harry Potter fans then Muslims? Don't you wish Harry Potter was more enlightening and less entertaining? What does this reveal about humanity?

It makes me wonder.
