It doesn't have to be divine to be popular, but perhaps there's something about this book that draws so many people to it. If I'm not mistaken the Tao Te Ching is the second most translated and widely distributed book of all time. I've listened to it a few times and I find that it speaks to a natural and spiritual truth that resonates within myself. So even if the Bible were the 3rd or 4th most distributed book (minus all the mass-production from wealthy catholics and churches) odds are there is something about it that draws so many to it with such devotion.
Think of how many religious hacks have tried and failed to write manuscripts which are now lost, forgotten or buried. Think of how many others tried to write a letter that was even one half as successful as Romans.
Why are so many willing to die for this Christ fellow and not other false, dead gods such as Zeus, Thor or Ra?
