Meet the atheist making thousands selling Bibles

This is Trevor McKendrick. He's an atheist.

But since February 2012 he's been making around $100,000 (£68,000) a year from selling Bibles, or more specifically an iPhone app version of one.

His Spanish-language La Biblia app makes him between $5,000 and $10,000 (£3,400 and £6,800) a month.

Speaking on the StartUp podcast with Alex Blumberg, he said:

We don't believe in Christianity. We don't believe in the Bible. I would describe myself as an atheist.

What if you sold Harry Potter books or Lord of the Rings books, but you told people it was real? And you told people if they would just learn how to write spells themselves, they could heal their children? And if you sold that as a real thing? I would feel terrible about that. But that's really the situation I am in selling the bible. I am selling this thing I truly believe is fiction.
