Good point on the religious books, there is a fine line between POV and NPOV
that I don't think many people follow when it comes to their faith. After
all, a person wouldn't be a member of a particular religion if they didnt
think that religion was the "undisputable truth". I've been watching those
books you mention reasonably closely, and while I think there are a few NPOV
and cleanup issues here and there, I dont think either book is exactly in
need of deletion.
There is a difference in saying what a particular group believes, and what
people ''should'' believe. So long as they stay with the first option,
they
can be on wikibooks.

What do you think of
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Christianity/Living_as_a_Christian and
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Imamat_or_Successorship_After_the_Last_Prophet…
I noticed there are more and more users who contribute to books that are
made with strongly islamic point of view (we already have some texts about
islam:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Category:Islam), with nicks like
"Truebeliever", "Believer" etc. I'm afraid that we might attract
some
zealots who see us as a good place to develop propaganda. Generally, I
think that we should think how we should treat books about religious
topics.
