The [[List of banned books]] is a mess, and the way people have added challenged books to the list (ALA_2000 entries) and the clogging up with many doubtful entries (just listed without explanations etc) has made it the target of creationists who try to get a book listed that a book that they claim is banned, but which in fact is far from that (if their rational holds, the bible is banned book).
I would not be suprised to find that the bible has been banned at some point in histoty.
The Bible *has* been banned, at several points in history. For example, it was banned during the Cultural Revolution in China, and its sale remains regulated today. And, as we all know, individual translations of the Bible (e.g. into German or English) were frequently banned in Mediaeval Europe.
The world is very big and very old.
