Hadn't heard that one. Most bookstores I know are already struggling vs. Amazon, which will sell pretty much anything if they get a cut of it. From what I've seen chains like B&N usually do stock a religious section, though many of them also put the Wiccan and witchcraft books near them as they tend to sell better.

Of course, I've also noticed that most Christian bookstores generally do not stock anything BUT fairly bland ripoffs of popular books that have been "sanitized (satanized?)" for a Christian audience.
