I spent five weeks in the states last year and I was in a different hotel every couple of days (drove along the coast of california). Not one of them had a bible.
I was re-watching the rock the other day and nick cage mentioned he’d stashed money in the bible in his hotel room. If you do come across one, remember to thumb through for cash before you get rid.
I usually stay in higher end hotels when I travel, and I agree that over the past 5-20 years the Gideon bible thing has started to fall off. Ten years ago you could still find them i. places like the Atlanta Ritz. It has been a hot minute since I’ve seen one, but that might be due to the type of hotel as much as progress over time.
When I went into the service, they had a team of 70 year old men making a gauntlet run where they handed you a (camo cover) version of the mini-new testament which as far as I know was allowed by the Army.

Big chain hotels have stopped this practice, stay at some dingy family owned motel and you will still find them in the bedside drawer.
Yeah, it’s a lot less common than it used to be. These stories that say, “every hotel room” are definitely exaggerating these days.

The west is much more atheist. Go to the southeast.
I make a habit of taking them and throwing them away.
