Every religion has their own sacred books and they make it practice to read them. I don't know whether "read" is the correct word to be mentioned for sacred books, though
I see, almost all schools preach any one religion's good things. All religion say only good on the wider scale.
I have completed my education in a school which belongs to Christian community. The headmaster, teachers most of them are Christians. Morning assembly, afternoon lunch, get-together, everytime, they make sure that any chorus, songs, hymns are sung followed by a short story from Bible to all of the students. It is a regular practice till today. I don't say it is wrong, though. I have seen many of my Christian friends said that (say that) they go to Church every Sunday and they read "Bible" everyday.
The same thing happens with my Islam friends as well. They say that they do "Namaz" (workship) every week or something and read "Qur'an" every day.
Whenever I go to any of my Christian or Islam friends' house, I always see Bible in Christian house and "Qur'an" in Islam house on the wider scale. I am not much aware about the other fellow-friends who belong to other community.
Though there are lots of sacred book for Hindus, "Bhagavad Gita" is considered as one which is known to many of Hindus. There are lots of others such as "Upanishads", "Vedas", "Mantras" available for Hindus. However, except for few families, are we reading them everyday as others read their respective sacred books like "Bible", "Qur'an" etc?
Probably the ratio of holy book readers is to total people in the community may be the same. I did not think in this aspect, though.
My point is not to raise any community differences or partiality towards one community here. All holy sacred books tell the same principle, same good things on the broader perspective. However, I feel it is better to read them at-least once in a week and try to use the good points mentioned in them to the maximum possible.
It does not mean that I am aligned towards holistic books or religion. I just want to mention that we should not miss out the good points mentioned in them.
"Tirukural" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirukku%E1%B9%9Ba%E1%B8%B7) is one of the sacred books for any religion in which almost all related to human life is spelled out. These 1330 "Kural" is more than sufficient for anybody to lead the happy life. Though, the original version is in Tamil, this has been translated into various languages for the usage of everybody.
I feel that all family should have this atleast one book and go through one "Kural" (line) everyday.
