no religion in bible?

today's topic for discussion comes from something a friend told me some years ago. to the best of my recollection it came from one of his coworkers. he was a photographer in a hospital, and a lot of the doctors on the staff were from india, so it seems likely one of them was the source.

at any rate—and don't ask me why—someone told him "i've read the bible, and i didn't find any religion in it."

so what do you think? was he right or wrong? why? and what did he mean?
