Bible/Address Book

[Space_Elf]

I've been told by a few people that bringing an address book is a great idea, but that sometimes the RDCs make you send them home. Several people have told me that the better bet is to bring a bible or religious text and write down names/addresses/phone numbers in there and slide in some stamps because they let you keep the bible.

is there any truth to this?

If there is... what exactly counts as a religious text? Philosophy? Is there a size requirement? Does it make a difference that I'm not actually religious? I mean, religion is such a touchy subject I don't want to rock the boat or anything... any advice would be appreciated.
