Even among those who consider themselves 'bible believers' they would have certainly read sections of it plenty of times. However more times than not they would have not often read all of the bible. I seriously believe if many people who consider themselves Christians, managed to read the bible cover to cover (if you read 3 or 4 chapters a day, you can do it in a year), a large number of them would become atheists.
Although those Christians who actually know their bible are often quite repulsive in their views.
Actually the more accurate translation of that verse is "you shall not murder".
Although you are right in saying that the biblical definition of murder does not include, when god or his word orders the killing of people for some reason or another.

Yahweh's kind of like a Mafia boss that way. "Aint nobody gettin wacked unless I gives the word."
