Because some Christians put them there so that if and when you get bored, or you happen to be in that hotel as some part of a journey of self discovery, you can read it and decide whether you want to be Christian too.

I wonder if hotels would allow messengers to place The God Delusion or The Satanic Bible.

Or why not the Necronomicon? (yeah, I know it's not real, but there are fakes all over the place)

The Gideons put them there. I think it's a generous and well-meaning gesture.

Some hotel chains now offer a smorgasbourd...smorgasbord...a cornucopia of religious texts to pick from. Well, maybe not that many but at least the most popular.

As long as the hotel has doughnuts who cares?

Anyway, here's some info from a biased source...
http://www.christianpost.com/article/20080325/31678_Edgy_Hotel_Offers_'Spiritual_Menu'_to_Guests .htm

Apparently, the lack of Gideon's service being provided in these hotels will lead to the demoralization of this nation. As if...

I'm sure it's well-meaning, and I can't say it bothers me at all. Hotel rooms have all sorts of amenities -- like pornography, coffee makers, and hair dryers -- that aren't useful to me but are probably useful to other people.

I'd really expect a person who enjoys reading the Bible to travel with a Bible, though. I do, and I don't even believe in it. I think the Gideons have this idea that one day a lonely and desperate traveling salesman or prostitute will pick up one of their Bibles and thereby make a divine connection and be delivered from a life of sin and shame. And I'm sure there are stories out there of exactly that kind of thing happening.
