Trivia
- The copy of the Bible seen most often in the DCU allegedly has a cover of stone, said to be made from the physical rock Cain used to kill Abel.
- A Blasphemous Mythology: The Religion of Crime is a popular nonfiction book written by Stanton T. Carlyle that denounces the Crime Bible and the Religion of Crime as a hoax. The real purpose of the book, however, was to bring the information of the Religion of Crime to the masses in a palatable form thus spreading the "Word". In order to guarantee the book would be a best seller, both Stanton and his wife, Giselle, (both of whom are secretly members of the Religion of Crime) were ordered to kill each other and their child, Anthony, to make it appear that the Religion were seeking revenge for the book. It is unclear if this tactic succeeded as Giselle did kill Stanton before being captured by the Question.
