The Bibles are put into hotels by the Gideons, which was founded by travelling salesmen that wanted to make sure other salesmen would have access to a Bible while traveling.
My father in law died in his 50s. Both his parents outlived him. They donated thousands of dollars to gideons for bibles. My wife checks every bible on every hotel room now trying to find one with her father’s name in it.
The irony is that he was an atheist and my wife is Jewish. But grandma and grandpa er devout Christians
Not too far off…
